- Lift the PDU slowly off of the floor. Pay close attention to the balance of the PDU while lifting. Keep a safety distance of 100-130 mm (4-5 in) between the product and the forklift to avoid damaging the product during lifting.
- Lower the forks slowly when placing the PDU on the floor.
WARNING
Tipping hazard- Insert the forks as instructed.
- Lift and lower the PDU slowly.
- Pay close attention to the balance of the PDU while lifting.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. - Remove the kick plates from the rear of the PDU. Save the kickplates for reinstallation.
- If present, remove the rear anchoring brackets. Save the rear anchoring brackets for reinstallation.
- You can now move the PDU for short distances using the forklift as instructed earlier in this procedure.
- For transport over longer distances:
WARNING
Heavy loadThe product is large and heavy : 4800 kg (10582 lbs). Only lift and move the product using a forklift with the following required specifications:- Forklift load capacity: > 5000 kg (11023 lbs)
- Forklift fork length: > 1400 mm (55.11 in)
- Forklift fork width (for lifting pallet): > 1800 mm (70.87 in)
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.WARNING
Tipping hazardFor transport over longer distances, ensure:- that personnel performing the transport have necessary skill and have received adequate training;
- to use appropriate tools to safely lift and transport the PDU;
- to protect the product against damage by using appropriate protection (like wrapping or packaging).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.Transportation requirements:
-
Mount the PDU in a vertical position in the center of a suitable pallet with minimum dimensions: 2360 x 1550 mm (93 in x 61 in). The pallet must be suitable for the weight of the PDU. The PDU weighs 4650 kg (10251 lbs).
-
Use appropriate means of fixation to mount the PDU to the pallet.
-
The original shipping pallet in combination with the original transportation brackets can be reused, if in undamaged condition.
DANGER
TIPPING hazard- The PDU must be appropriately fixed to the pallet immediately after being placed on the pallet.
- The fixation hardware must be strong enough to withstand vibrations and shocks during loading, transport, and unloading.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. - Perform one of the following:
- Decommission the PDU, OR
- Move the PDU to a new location to install it.
