3.3.2 Lifting

•
Check the weight of the unit to determine a safe
lifting method
•
Ensure that the lifting device is suitable for the
task
•
If necessary, plan for a hoist, crane, or forklift with
the appropriate rating to move the unit
•
For lifting, use hoist rings on the unit, when
provided

3.3.3 Mounting

•
Mount the unit vertically
•
The drive allows side by side installation.
•
Ensure that the strength of the mounting location
will support the unit weight
•
Mount the unit to a solid flat surface or to the
optional backplate to provide cooling airflow (see
Illustration 3.2 and Illustration 3.3).
•
Improper mounting can result in overheating and
reduced performance.
•
Use the slotted mounting holes on the unit for
wall mounting, when provided.
