Procedure
To lift the load frame into a vertical position:
1. Remove all packaging material from the frame and ensure that the frame is
not attached to the shipping skid.
2. Attach the two lifting slings to the hoist rings of the top plate and secure
them to the crane hook.
The frame may overturn suddenly when lifting the frame.
An overturned frame can cause injury or death to anyone in the immediate
area.
Ensure that all persons in the immediate area are standing away from the frame
during lifting. Do not lift the frame more than 8 cm (3 in) off the floor.

3. Slowly lift the frame until it is in an upright position and is lifted off the
floor.
4. Slowly move the load frame away from the shipping skid and remaining
packaging materials.
5. When the frame is clear of the packaging material, slowly lower the load
frame to the floor so that it is standing on its base in an upright position.
6. Remove the slings from the top plate.
The frame can now be positioned into its operating location and then installed by
an MTS service representative. To position the frame into its operating location,
use the crosshead method to lift the frame. For details, see Refer to
