8.2 Handling of Modules
The module/I-beam assembly may now be removed from the
pallet using methods outlined in Section 6.5. See Figures 4 and
5. Remaining modules may be removed in a similar manner.
8.3 Tip Over Procedure
In order to stack modules in the horizontal position, refer to
Figures 9 through 11 to perform the tip-over procedure. The
module/I-Beam assembly tip-over should be performed first. This
procedure can be performed using a portable boom crane or
fork lift in conjunction with the lifting straps and lifting shackles
supplied.
A. Install lifting strap using lifting shackles in channel base holes
at each end of module upper
front channel as shown in
Figure 9.
B. Center the lifting hook onto strap and lift until strap is under
tension and raises bottom of module from floor surface.
C. While exerting manual force on the upper
front of module,
lower hoist until module is in horizontal position. See Figures
10 and 11.
D. After tip over procedure when module is horizontal, install the
four lifting shackles and two lifting straps as shown in Figure
12 to position and handle battery in horizontal position.
TIP-OVER PROCEDURE - SHACKLE-STRAP USAGE

NOTE (for Figure 9):
1) One strap with shackles used for tip-over procedure.
2) Observe channel hole used as well as
direction of shackle insertion.
3) Tip over procedure for single modules only.

HORIZONTAL STACKING SHACKLE-STRAP USAGE
Figure 12
Where floor anchoring is required, position module/I-Beam
assembly in desired location. Mark floor through I-beam holes
and remove module/base assembly. Install floor anchoring and
reposition module/base assembly over anchoring. Prior to
installing nuts and washers, check that assembly is level in both
axes. Level using shims provided. When level, fasten assembly
and torque nuts to 47 Newton-meters (35 Ft-Lbs).
In order to complete stacking of a horizontal single stack refer to
Figures 12 to 15 and steps A through C listed below.
NOTE: The use of leveling shims is required when assembling
any Absolyte GX system in order to meet seismic
requirements. Failure to use the shims to level each
module and to fill spaces between tray channels during
module assembly will result in the assembly not meeting
seismic certification criteria. In extreme cases, stack to
stack connectors cannot be installed.
A. Using Section 6.5 and 8.1.3 and the layout/wiring
diagram, position the next module on top of first so that chan-
nels of each mate with one another. Use drift pins to align
channel holes. Make sure channel ends and sides of the
upper and lower modules are flush. Remove lifting straps and
install M10 serrated flange bolts and nuts in open holes, fin-
ger tight. Use leveling shims to fill gaps between trays. See
Figures 13, 14 and 15.
B. At this time, check to see that the first two modules are plumb
front to back and side to side using wooden or plastic level
together with plywood straight edge. This is to insure proper
alignment for module interconnection later on. Torque hard-
ware to 47 Newton-meters (35 Ft-Lbs).
C. Proceed with stacking of remaining modules, checking that
stack is plumb in both axes as stacking progresses before
torquing hardware. Be certain to check the layout/wiring dia-
gram for correct horizontal orientation to provide proper polar-
ity interconnection as stacking progresses. See Figure 16 for
completed assembly.
