  5. Remove all the power modules from the UPS.
    WARNING
    Heavy load
    Power modules are heavy (54 kg). Use appropriate lifting equipment and trained personnel to lift and handle the power module. It is recommended to use a scissor lifting cart or similar appropriate lifting equipment as shown in this procedure, see Specifications for Recommended Scissor Lifting Cart for details. If no lifting equipment is available, three persons are required to lift and handle the power module.
    Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
    WARNING
    Hazard of injury
    Never stack the power modules on top of each other.
    Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
    CAUTION
    Heavy load and potentially hot surface
    Use protective gloves and safety shoes when handling the power modules.
    Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
