Standard Chiller Lift
1. Insert rigging shackles at the points indicated in the
following figure. A 1.25 in. (31.8 mm) diameter
lifting hole is provided at each of these points.
2. Attach the lifting chains or cables.
3. After the lifting cables are in place, attach a safety
chain or cable between the first-stage of the
compressor and the lifting beam.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : There should NOT be tension on this
safety cable; the cable is used only to
prevent the unit from rolling during the
lift.
4. Position isolator pads beneath the chiller feet (refer
to
"Unit Isolation," p. 20
5. Once the isolators are in place, lower the chiller—
working from end to end—in small increments to
maintain stability.
6. When lift is complete, detach the rigging shackles
and safety chain.

If the chiller cannot be moved using a standard chiller
lift, consider the following:
•
When job site conditions require rigging of the
chiller at an angle greater than 45° from horizontal
(end-to-end), the unit may require removal of the
compressor. Contact Trane or an agent of Trane
specifically authorized to perform start-up and
warranty of Trane® products regarding the
disassembly and reassembly work. For more
information, refer to
"Factory Warranty
Information," p.
3.
N N o o t t e e : : Disassembly and reassembly work includes
removing the compressor from the unit.
Contact Trane or an agent of Trane
specifically authorized to perform start-up
and warranty of Trane ® products for specific
rigging instructions. Do NOT attempt to
rotate the chiller onto its side.
•
When lifting the chiller is either impractical or
undesirable, machinery dollies should be placed
under the supports; then push or pull the unit
across a smooth surface. Should the chiller be on
blocks, it is not necessary to remove the blocks
from the chiller before moving it into place.
•
Use care on uneven surfaces. Piping in the center of
the unit is within 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) of the ground.
Unit Isolation
To minimize sound and vibration transmission through
the building structure and to ensure proper weight
distribution over the mounting surface, Trane
recommends installing isolation padding under the
chiller feet. For seismic installations, refer to the
specific installation details provided by the foundation
designer.
N N o o t t e e : : Isolation pads are provided with each chiller.
Specific isolator loading data is provided in the unit
submittal package. If necessary, contact your local
Trane sales office for further information.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : When determining placement of isolation
pads, remember that the control panel side
of the unit is always designated as the front
side of the unit.
Isolation Pads
When isolation pads are used, place them under each
of the eight individual mounting points. The pads may
