Using appropriately rated lifting slings on Daniel Ultrasonic Meters
 49
3.
NEVER attempt to lift the meter using only one sling around the meter. Always use two 
slings wrapped around each end of the body as shown below. A choker style sling is 
recommended.

4.
Visually inspect the slings prior to use for any signs of abrasion or other damage. Refer 
to the sling manufacturer's procedures for proper inspection of the particular sling you 
are using.
5.
Only use slings with ratings that exceed the weight to be lifted.  Reference your 
company's standards for safety factors that must be included when calculating the load 
rating.
6.
NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure or transducer cabling. 
Damage to the enclosure or cabling 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.
