Rigging Unit - Carrier AquaForce 30XA Series Installation Instructions Manual

RIGGING UNIT (SEE FIG. 29-31)
The 30XA080-501 units are designed for overhead rigging and it
is important that this method be used. Holes are provided in frame
base channels, marked for rigging (see rigging label on unit).
Field-supplied shackles are required to facilitate lifting. Secure the
shackles to the base rails at the points noted on the rigging label.
See Table 2 for the number of lifting points for each unit.
Do not use a forklift truck to move the units.
Use spreader bars to keep cables or chains clear of unit sides. As
further protection, plywood sheets may be placed against sides of
unit, behind cables or chains. Run cables or chains to a central sus-
pension point so that angle from horizontal is not less than 45 de-
grees. Raise and set unit down carefully.
See Fig. 29-31 for rigging centers of gravity.
For shipping, some domestic units and all export units are mount-
ed on a wooden skid under entire base of unit. Skid can be re-
moved before unit is moved to installation site. Lift the unit from
above to remove skid. See Fig. 29-31 for rigging center of gravity.
On export units, the top skid can be used as the spreader bars. If
the unit was shipped with a shipping bag, the bag must be re-
moved to gain access to the rigging holes in the base rail.
If overhead rigging is not available, the unit can be moved on roll-
ers or dragged. When unit is moved on rollers, the unit skid, if
equipped, must be removed. To lift the unit, use jacks at the rig-
ging points. Use a minimum number of rollers to distribute the
load such that the rollers are no more than 6 ft (1.8 m) apart. If the
unit is to be dragged, lift the unit as described above, and place
unit on a pad. Apply moving force to the pad, and not the unit.
When in its final location, raise the unit and remove the pad. If the
unit was shipped with protection, it must be removed before start-
up. The shipping bag for export units must be removed before
start-up.
