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 the transducer cabling. 

Damage to the meter may occur. If the slings do come in contact with the electronics 
enclosure, then remove the two bolts holding the enclosure to its base and temporarily 
remove the head from the meter during the lifting operation (Remove the two bolts 
holding the enclosure to its base and unplug the cable from the Acquisition Module. 
Two screws hold this cable in place.) Use a spreader-bar on the slings to prevent contact 
with the electronics. 

7.

Once the lifting operation is complete, reattach and secure the electronics cable to J3 

on the Acquisition Module, return the electronics enclosure to its original position, 
replace the bolts, and secure the enclosure in place. Lifting the meter with the upper 
enclosure installed but with out the bolts installed, may cause the electronics to fall and 
cause personal injury or electronics damage. 

8.

NEVER apply shock loads to the meter. Always lift the meter gradually. If shock loading 

ever occurs, the slings must be inspected per manufacturer's procedures prior to being 
placed in any further service.
