Lifting Instructions
for FlexPak 3000 and WebPak 3000 DC Drives
Instruction Manual D2-3414-1
Lifting Component Ratings
All lifting equipment and lifting components (hooks, bolts, lifts, slings, chains, etc.) must have a minimum lifting
capacity of 455 kg (1000 lb).
Drive Mounting
Perform the following steps to mount the drive. Note that horizontal mounting is not permitted.
Step 1. Check the hole pattern on the panel to which the drive will be mounted. Refer to figures 2 through 5
for the correct pattern.
Step 2. Insert, but do not fully tighten the bolt(s) in the top hole(s) of the panel. Bolts must be fully threaded
into the panel before hanging the drive as shown in figure 1.
Important: Insert properly sized and rated lifting hooks into the top two 1-inch holes of the drive chassis (see
figure 6). To limit pull in forces on the drive, the lifting devices connected to the hooks must be long
enough to make the angle between the chain and a vertical line extending up from the cabinet
edge less than 45 degrees as illustrated in figure 6.
60 HP and smaller drives do not have lift holes in the top of the drive chassis. If using hooks or lift
eyes with these units, place them in the handholds on the side of the cabinet.
Step 3. Lift the drive into place over the top bolt(s). Verify that the bolt heads on the panel engage properly
into the keyhole slots on the drive.
Step 4. Once the top bolts are properly seated, the bottom bolts can be installed and tightened.

ATTENTION: To guard against possible personal injury or equipment damage:
• Do not allow any part of the drive or lifting mechanism to make contact with electrically
charged conductors or components.
• At no time should persons or their limbs be directly underneath the items being lifted.
• Do not subject the load to high rates of acceleration or deceleration.
• Inspect all lifting hardware for proper attachment before lifting drive unit.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
