Safety precautions using safety engineered swivel hoist rings
 45
6.
After installation of the hoist rings, always check that the ring rotates and pivots freely 
in all directions.
7.
NEVER attempt to lift the meter using only one hoist ring.
8.
Always use separate slings to each hoist ring. NEVER reeve one sling through both hoist 
rings. The slings must be of equal length. Each sling must have a load rating that equals 
or exceeds the hoist ring load rating. The angle between the two slings going to the 
hoist rings must never exceed 90 degrees or the load rating of the hoist rings will be 
exceeded.

9.
NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure. Damage to the enclosure 
may occur. If the slings do come in contact with the electronic enclosure then remove 
the two bolts holding the enclosure to its base and temporarily remove the head from 
the meter during the lifting operation. You will need to unplug the cable from J3 on the 
Acquisition Module. Two screws hold this cable in place.
