CAUTION Lifting the Model 505.60/.180 HPU in the middle of its chassis can strain the structural integrity of the HPU. Improper handling can cause significant damage to an HPU. Do not lift the HPU in the middle of its chassis. 505.60/.180—If using an overhead lift—Wrap slings under the HPU base and attach them to a spreader bar. If using forklifts or pallet jacks—Lift the HPU from the ends. When moving the HPU with an overhead lift, use a spreader bar to help balance the weight.
When moving the Model 505.60/.180 HPU with fork lifts or pallet jacks, lift the HPU from the ends. 5. Lift the HPU only as high as necessary and move it slowly to its installation site. Operate the lifting device smoothly to prevent sudden shocks to the HPU. Note Ensure that the HPU remains stable during the entire moving procedure. 6. Gently lower the HPU onto the floor in its final location.
