9. NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure. Damage to the enclosure
may occur. Use a spreader bar with the slings to prevent contact with the electronics
enclosure and the base enclosure (see Figure 2-10). If the slings do come in contact
with the electronic enclosure then remove the two bolts holding the enclosure to its
base and temporarily remove the head from the meter during the lifting operation. You
will need to unplug the cable from J3 on the Acquisition Module. Two screws hold this
cable in place.
Once the lifting operation is complete, reattach and secure the electronics cable to J3
on the Acquisition Module, return the electronics enclosure to its original position,
replace the bolts, and secure the enclosure in place.
Lifting the meter with the upper enclosure installed but without the bolts installed, may
cause the electronics to fall and cause personal injury or equipment damage.

10. NEVER apply shock loads to the meter. Always lift the meter gradually. If shock loading
ever occurs, the hoist ring must be inspected per manufacturer's recommendations
