Lifting and Rigging
WARNING
Lifting and Rigging!
Do not lift, rig, or ceiling-suspend
from the top of the unit. Lift from
lifting lugs only, located at the
bottom of the unit. Use all lifting
lugs provided.

Do not use cables (chains or slings)
except as shown. Each of the cables
(chains or slings) used to lift the unit
must be capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Lifting
cables (chains or slings) may not be
of the same length. Adjust as
necessary for even unit lift.

Before preparing the unit for lifting,
estimate the approximate center of
gravity for lifting safety. Because of
the placement of internal
components, the unit weight may be
unevenly distributed, with more
weight in the coil and fan areas.
Refer to the unit submittals for
section weights. Test the unit for
proper balance and rigging before
lifting.
