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 horizontally 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 mod-
ule 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.
HANDLING - LIFTING STRAP PLACEMENT
Figure 4
NOTE (for Figure 4):
1) Straps must be criss-crossed.
2) Observe lifting shackle orientation
and proper channel hole use.
3) See Figure 13 for handling modules in horizontal
orientation.
4) Never lift more than one module with straps and
hooks.

7.0 Module Arrangements
Absolyte GX batteries may only be arranged horizontally.
Figure 6 shows some typical arrangements.
TYPICAL SYSTEM ARRANGEMENTS
Figure 6
Modules are shipped without connectors installed. The
wiring diagram enclosed with shipment will show proper
battery hook-up. Module stack height limitation depends on
cell size and the seismic requirements of the application.
SECTION 8: SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
8.0 Module Assembly Identification
Consult layout/wiring diagram for total number and type
of module assemblies in system. Compare required
module assemblies called for on layout/wiring diagram
with modules in shipment for completeness before
continuing further.
The Absolyte GX has a standard module configuration of
two cells per module. Where application voltage requires,
