2. Ensure the angle between the lifting cables does not exceed 45° from
vertical (see Figure 12 and Figure 13 ).
3. You may also use a spreader bar to lift the equipment. Ensure that the
spreader beam has a load rating adequate for the equipment.
4. Lift the equipment a minimal amount to verify that it is properly secured
and balanced before moving the equipment further.
The lift points on the drive may not be equidistant from the center of
gravity, which generally is considered as the geometrically center of the
equipment.
5. Select or adjust the rigging lengths to compensate for the weight
distribution of the load. Maintain the equipment in an upright position.
Avoid abrupt movements in any direction.
6. To minimize risk, only lift the drive high enough to clear obstacles. There
will be some tilt due to uneven weight distribution within the drive.
7. Lower the equipment for installation on a level floor.
