Equipment Handling and Rigging

Moving Unit into Final Location

Move the unit in its upright position to the installation site using a forklift or pallet jack. It is recommended
that the unit be protected from damage to the decorative doors or panels during any storage or moving.
The shipping skid should be left in place if the unit is being moved with a forklift. If the unit is being
lifted, use spreader bars to prevent damage to the doors and panels. Improper lifting or moving of
equipment may result in damage to decorative doors, panels or frame members.
When rigging, make sure all wiring and tube connections are protected to prevent any damage.
Keep tines of the forklift level and at a height suitable to fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior
and/or underside damage. Make sure the forks are spread to their widest allowable width for proper
balance. Do not lift the unit higher than 6" (152 mm) off the ground. If necessary, to lift higher than the
suggested 6" (152 mm), exercise great care to ensure proper handling of the unit. Personnel not
involved with the lifting of the unit should keep a safe distance from the unit.
The unit may be too tall to fit through a doorway while on the skid. Measure the unit and doorway
heights and refer to the installation plans to verify clearances prior to moving the unit.

Rigging

Removal of the decorative doors or panels is easily accomplished and may be done without moving
the equipment. The shipping skid should be left in place if the unit is being moved with a forklift. If the
unit is being lifted, use spreader bars to prevent damage to the doors and panels.

Locating the Unit

The unit is intended for above the ceiling installation and is typically suspended from structural members
in the building above the ceiling. Add at least a 50% safety factor to the weight of the unit to determine
the necessary strength of the supporting structural members or follow local code.
Appropriate service access above the ceiling is required around all service and electrical access panels.
There must be unobstructed clearance below the unit allowing ladder access to enable routine
maintenance and service. Consult local building codes and National Electric Code for special
installation requirements. Reference drawing 536-900-001 for typical Mini-Plus ceiling unit mounting.
WARNING: Only properly trained personnel wearing appropriate safety
head gear, gloves, shoes, and glasses should attempt to move the unit,
lift it, remove packaging or prepare the unit for installation.
WARNING: Use care when moving. Improper handling could result in
injury. Proper care should be taken when uncrating the unit. The
packaging has wrapping bands with sharp edges that are under tension,
crating has staples and splinters. Proper protective equipment should be
worn by qualified personnel.
