3 EQUIPMENT INSPECTION AND HANDLING
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! Risk of top-heavy unit falling over. Improper handling can cause equipment
damage, injury or death. Read all of the following instructions and verify that all lifting and
moving equipment is rated for the weight of the unit before attempting to move, lift, remove
packaging from or prepare the unit for installation. Unit weights are specified in Table 2.2 on
page12.
WARNING! Risk of improper moving. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Use only
lifting equipment that is rated for the unit weight by an OSHA-certified rating organization. The
center of gravity varies depending on the unit size and selected options. The slings must be
equally spaced on either side of the center of gravity indicator.
Shipping weights and unit weights are listed in the tables in Table 2.2 on page12. Use the
center of gravity indicators on the unit to determine the position of the slings.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters, and exposed fasteners. Can cause
injury. Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE
should attempt to move, lift, remove packaging from or prepare the unit for installation.
NOTICE
Risk of passageway interference. Can cause unit and/or structure damage. The unit may be
too large to fit through a passageway while on or off the skid. Measure the unit and passageway
dimensions, and refer to the installation plans prior to moving the unit to verify clearances.
NOTICE
Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a
height suitable to fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
NOTICE
Risk of improper storage. Keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from dampness,
freezing temperatures and contact damage.
Upon arrival of the unit and before unpacking:
• Verify that the labeled equipment matches the bill of lading.
• Carefully inspect all items for visible or concealed damage.
• Report damage immediately to the carrier and file a damage claim with a copy sent to Vertiv or
to your sales representative.
