4.5.1 Using a crane to lift a transport unit or the drive by the base frame
NOTICE Risk of component damage!
Improper lifting and transportation can damage the drive.
– Refer to “Appendix C - Mechanical drawings” before transporting the
drive. This appendix provides details on dimensions, weight, and
center of gravity of the drive.
– DO NOT lift and move the drive or a transport unit with a forklift.
– If the transport units are joined but not yet on the base frame, DO
NOT lift and move them with a crane.
• Use appropriate transport means, such as heavy load hydraulics
rollers or air cushions. If in doubt, contact ABB for instructions.
– To prevent damage to drive components, transport and move the
drive or a transport unit only in upright position.
– To prevent dirt from entering the drive, keep the doors of the drive or
a transport unit closed.
Metallic dust in particular can cause damage and failure when the
drive is energized.
CAUTION Tipping hazard!
– To prevent the drive or transport unit from tipping when following
these instructions, use an extra sling around the cabinet for
stabilization (Fig. 4-2).
NOTICE Risk of cabinet damage!
– Only use a crane to lift single transport units or the drive by the base
frame.
– Always observe the center of gravity!
