Page 17: Moving And Leveling The Enclosure
9 .1 Moving and Leveling the Enclosure CAUTION HEAVY OBJECT The Enclosure is very heavy once fully loaded. Do not move it after it is loaded. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury. 1. Turn all the handles to their horizontal position (open) and remove the Enclosure door. - Page 18 To avoid damage to the internal frame, knock out the holes on the sides of the Enclosure 85 to 185 mm (3.35 to 7 .3 in) from the front opening, and 110 to 530 mm (4.3 to 20.87 in) from the bottom of the Enclosure body. The location of holes should minimize exposure to the elements and minimize the ingress of moisture due to rain, snow, or flooding.

Page 19: Installation
Enclosure, rack, or support feet. If damage occurs, unload the Enclosure and replace the damaged components. • The AES RACKMOUNT Slimline Enclosure is very heavy when loaded with battery modules. It is, therefore, advisable to punch holes for home runs, and position, balance, and anchor the Enclosure before loading it with battery modules. - Page 20 1. Ensure the Enclosure is in its final position. Moving the Enclosure after it is loaded with battery modules is dangerous. You may damage parts of the Enclosure, including its base, screws, internal cage, and Enclosure walls. Figure 13. Order of Installation 2.
