Lifting Considerations
.
Figure 2. Recommended
attachment to lifting lugs.
• Before lifting the unit, 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.
• Always assemble unit at the installation site. Never bolt sections together
before rigging.
• Always rig subassemblies or sections as they ship from the factory. See the
unit submittal drawings for correct placement of sections.
• Lift all sections individually using all lifting lugs provided. See Figure 2. See
specific instructions for handling the pipe cabinet (see “TCC Wall Section
Assembly (Typical)” on page 37) and inlet and exhaust hoods (see “Outdoor
Unit Weather Hood(s)” on page 52).
Figure 3. Use proper lifting and rigging methods • Make the loop of the sling parallel to
the direction of airflow whenever
possible.
• Each of the cables used to lift the unit
must be capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit.
• When hoisting the unit into position,
use the proper rigging method, such
as straps, slings, spreader bars, or
lifting lugs for protection and safety.
See Figure 3.
• The air handler is not designed to be
lifted, rigged or ceiling suspended
from the top of the unit.
• Never lift units in windy conditions.
Personnel should be positioned
overhead and on the ground to guide
the crane or helicopter operator in
positioning the sections.
• Never stack the pipe cabinet and inlet
hoods on the unit as the unit is being
lifted.
• Do not attach the intake/exhaust
hoods to the unit prior to lifting the
unit. Doing so may damage the
equipment. Attach the hoods to the
unit only after all sections are in place.
• Remove all wooden blocks before
installing the unit to the roof curb.
