Lift and Move Lifting and Moving the Series 322 Load Frame Prerequisites You will need the following equipment: • A fork lift or overhead crane capable of lifting the load unit.
Lift and Move Unpack and Move the Platen Note: You can move the platen and crosshead assembly with a forklift as long as they’re attached to their pallets. Warning: The load unit is heavy. The weight of the load unit can seriously hurt you and damage your load unit. Do not allow the load unit to drop or topple. Make sure that your chains, slings, and crane have a working capacity greater than the load unit’s weight. Make sure that the lifting hoist rings are tight.
Lift and Move Item Description 1 Attach straps 2 30° maximum 5. Lift the platen clear of its pallet and move it carefully to its installation site. 6. Lower the platen onto the isolation pads. If the platen is not level, install stock metal shims between the pads and the floor. Install the Crosshead Assembly Note: Lightly lube all threads with Molykote G-n paste. Warning: There is a possibility of the crosshead assembly suddenly dropping. You can be seriously hurt and your assembly badly damaged.
