RC/FC Series Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
Section 6:
Lifting a Split Air Conditioning Unit:
The unit must be installed in compliance with all
applicable codes. The qualified installer or service
technician must use best building practices when
installing the unit.

6.1 Moving/Lifting the Unit

6.1.1 Preparing to Move/Lift the Unit:
Prior to moving/lifting the unit, the following steps must
be performed.
1. Remove all packaging or blockers.
2. Remove all packages that were shipped inside
the unit.
3. Inspect the unit to:
• Verify that there is no damage as a result
of shipping.
• Ensure that it is appropriately rated for the utilities
available at the installation site.
• Verify lifting holes located in the frame are
intact, undamaged and secured to the air
conditioning unit.
• Ensure factory-installed hardware is torqued
as specified.
4. Prepare the installation location to be ready to accept
the unit.
5. Verify that the moving/lifting equipment can handle the
unit's weight. Verify that forklift forks extend through
the unit frame and that crane has required reach.

6.1.2 Moving the Unit with Forklift
Move the unit using forklift pockets, if provided. Insure
that the forklift forks are evenly spaced, and go completely
through both sides. Weight should be evenly balanced
and centered with the forklift.
6.1.3 Lifting the Unit with Crane
Lift the unit into place installing appropriate hardware
(supplied by others) into all four lifting holes. Use spreader
bars to ensure that the lifting cables clear the sides of
the unit. See Figure 4. Test lift to 12" [30.5 cm] to check
stability of rigging before completing the lift. Use caution
as the load may be unbalanced. The unit must be kept
level during the lift to prevent tipping, twisting or falling. If
lifted improperly, product damage may occur.
