Lifting the Enclosure For lifting instructions, see the Dimension Sheet for your enclosure and
Figures 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.
When lifting the enclosure:
•
Use slings for pickup points.
•
Use slings with load-rated safety hooks or shackles.
•
Use the proper slings to ensure that the load is equalized at all lift points.
•
Use spreader bars (see Figure 2.3) and padding to prevent damage to
the enclosure and enclosed equipment.
•
Do not pass ropes or cables through the lifting angle support holes.
•
Use rigging lengths that compensate for any unequal weight distribution
of the load and that support the enclosure in an upright position.
•
The angle between the rigging and enclosure must be at least 45°. This
reduces tension on the slings and compression on the lifting angles.
•
Keep enclosure upright.
•
Do not jolt the enclosure.
!
ATTENTION: When detaching skids, be aware that
the enclosure can be top-heavy. Exercise caution.
ATTENTION: When the enclosure is removed from
the skids, brace and block the enclosure until it is
permanently secured.
!
ATTENTION: Lift the sling so that the load is
equalized at the pickup points. Use spreader bars as
required. Minimum sling angle is 45°.
ATTENTION: Tilting the FD86N enclosure can
damage the enclosure, especially if it encloses heavy
equipment.
