at the top adjacent channels. See Figure 2.

6.3 Unpacking
Carefully remove bolts and protective shipping hood. See Figure
3. Remove the bolts holding modules to shipping pallet. Also
remove hardware bolting upper channels of modules together.
Do not remove modules at this time. Base supports for horizon-
tally stacked modules are more easily attached before removing
modules from pallet (see Section 8 System Assembly).
Note: Placement of modules on shipping pallet has
no relationship to final installation and should be
disregarded.

6.4 Handling of Modules
The design of the modular tray permits handling by a fork lift,
portable crane or by a hoist sling . Whichever method is used,
make sure equipment can safely handle the module weight. See
Section 6.2 for module weights. Always use the two lifting straps
and four lifting shackles for lifting and placement of modules.
See Figure 4.
