Rigging And Handling

Exercise care when moving the unit. Do not remove any
packaging until the unit is near the place of installation. Rig the
unit by attaching chain or cable slings to the lifting holes
provided in the base rails. Spreader bars, whose length
exceeds the largest dimension across the unit, MUST be used
across the top of the unit.
If a unit is to be installed on a roof curb other than a
®
York roof curb, gasketing must be applied to all
surfaces that come in contact with the unit underside.
Before lifting, make sure the unit weight is distributed
equally on the rigging cables so it will lift evenly.
Units may be moved or lifted with a forklift, from the side only,
providing an accessory skid is used.
LENGTH OF FORKS MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 90 INCHES.
All panels must be secured in place when the unit is
lifted.
The condenser coils should be protected from rigging
cable damage with plywood or other suitable material.
