Follow the instructions below to correctly lift a FLO Ultra with a forklift:

Installing the Lifting Jig on the FLO Ultra

Follow the steps below to install a lifting jig on the FLO Ultra:

1. Place the forklift lifting jig horizontal bars on top of the FLO Ultra, aligning the extrusions at the bottom with the indentations on top of the FLO Ultra.
   
2. Place the angle lift lifting jigs on top of the forklift lifting bars in a perpendicular arrangement, aligning the screw holes of the angle lifting jigs and the lifting bars.
   
3. Place the washer on top of the angle lift lifting jig screw hole and screw in the head screw. On the bottom of the angle lift lifting jig, add an oversized washer and a bolt to the head screw to secure the parts together. The torque must be 70 N m (51.6 lb-pi).

Lifting the FLO Ultra with a Forklift

Follow the steps below to correctly and securely lift the FLO Ultra with a forklift:

1. Ensure that the operator is qualified and certified to operate the forklift.
2. Ensure that the lifting jig is properly installed and that all screws are correctly tightened and secured before lifting, according to the previous section Installing the Lifting Jig on the FLO Ultra.
3. Confirm the lifting capacity of the forklift to make sure it can safely lift the weight of the FLO Ultra. Only use a forklift that can safely lift the FLO Ultra. The lifting capacity of the forklift must be over 700 kg (1 540 lbs) to lift the charging station and the lifting jig. Refer to Specifications for more information.
4. Raise the forks to the height indicated by position B.
5. Secure the charging station to the forklift using a strap or chain. Use the long, unpainted lifting bars to anchor the lifting jig to the charging station.
6. Ensure the good positioning of the forks between the forklift lifting jig and the FLO Ultra (identified by each of the arrows of B). Do a visual check to ensure the right positioning of the forks and that the path of the forklift is clear.
7. Lift the FLO Ultra and transport it to the correct location. Avoid abrupt turns, stops and starts during transportation.
8. Gently place the FLO Ultra at the correct location.
9. Re-use the lifting jig for other FLO Ultra installations or recycle it; however, lifting equipment may only be used to lift a FLO Ultra charging station. This equipment must not be used for any other type of lifting.
