Unpacking And Assembling The Lift Tool - IBM System Storage SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

Unpacking and assembling the lift tool

Assembling the lift tool before starting the installation will simplify the installation.
The lift tool consists of several parts, including:
v The fully assembled main vertical section of the lift tool with wheels, wheel lock,
v Attachable lift forks, which slide onto the front of the lift tool and are secured in
v 24-inch load plate with sliding middle section (do not use the 18-inch solid
v Anti-tip bars
v Retention straps
v Wheel chocks
Assembly instructions are attached to the back of the main vertical section of the

1. With one person at either end, lift the main section of the lift tool out of the
shipping crate.
2. Review the assembly instructions attached to the back of the lift tool, if
necessary.
3. With the lift tool still horizontal, insert the two legs with caster wheels into
the holes in the front of the lift tool.
4. Pull up on the spring-loaded leg lock pins, sliding the legs in until the pins
snap into place through the holes in the legs, securing them in place.
5. Tilt the lift tool upright, resting on all four wheels. Set the wheel brake by
stepping down on the brake pedal. (Note the brake release on the left side of
the brake pedal.)
6. Attach the two forks to the lift tool, sliding the two holes in each over the
ends of the two bars. If the winch is in the lowest position, you may need to
raise it to provide enough clearance to slide the forks into position. Secure
each lifting fork in place with two ring-pins.
7. Attach the 24-inch load plate, by slipping the top curved portion under the
horizontal bar, and resting the load plate on the forks.
8. Attach the anti-tip bars (recommended to provide additional stability when
the loaded lift tool is raised more than 45 cm (18 in) high). Install these from
the rear of the lift tool, by sliding them inside the horizontal legs, pulling up
on the leg lock pins to allow the pins to engage the holes in the legs and the
anti-tip bars.
9. Secure the anti-tip brackets to the lift tool with the supplied brackets and
bolts.
