Lifting And Rigging; Placing The Unit On The Mounting Curb - Trane 18-EB24D1-19 Installer's Manual

Installer's Guide

Lifting and Rigging

IMPORTANT: Do not lift the unit without test lifting for balance
and rigging. Do not lift the unit in windy conditions or above
personnel. Do not lift the unit by attaching clevis, hooks, pins,
or bolts to the unit casing, casing hardware, corner lugs, angles,
tabs, or flanges. Failure to observe these warnings may result
in equipment damage.
1. Before preparing the unit for lifting, check the unit dimension
drawings for center of gravity for lifting safety (Figures 1 to 12,
).
page 4-15 Because of placement of internal components,
the unit's weight may be unevenly distributed. Approximate unit
weights are also provided in the unit drawings.
NOTE: Unit rigging and hoisting requires accessory kit BAY-
LIFT002A. It includes a kit of four (4) lifting lugs. See Figure 16
inset B, on page 20.
2. Insert the four lifting lugs in the openings provided in the drip lip
on each end of the unit. See Figure 16 inset B on page 20. A
tap or jerk to the lug will overcome the interference that arises
due to the dimple on the lug.
3. When hoisting the unit, be sure that a proper method of rigging
is used. Use either the unit's top shipping skid and straps or
slings and spreader bars for protection during lifting. Always
test-lift the unit to determine the exact unit balance and stability
before hoisting it to the installation location.
4. When the curb and air ducts have been properly installed, the
unit is ready to be hoisted to the roof and set in position.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the sides and top of the
unit when hoisting, retain the top shipping skid on the unit or
use "spreader bars" as shown on page 20.
IMPORTANT: The unit must be lowered into position. The P.V.C.
rubber tape on the curb flange permits the unit to be repositioned
if required without destroying the P.V.C. rubber seals affixed to
the mounting curb.

Placing the Unit on the Mounting Curb

1. The unit is designed with a perimeter drip lip that is lower than
the unit base pan, see Figure 16, inset A, on page 20.
2. Position the unit drip lip down over and in contact with the outside
corner of the curb, as illustrated in Figure 16, inset A, on page
20. Continue to lower the unit on top of the curb, with the unit
drip lip astraddle, and in contact with, both the end and side rail
of the curb. The unit should now rest on top of the curb. Use the
extreme mounting kit, BAYEXMK001A, to add additional hold
down strength to the mounting.
NOTE: The ductwork is installed as part of the curb installa-
tion. Do not attach ductwork to the unit and lower the unit with
ductwork onto the curb.
