2.3.2 Lifting

Check the weight of the unit to determine a safe
lifting method

Ensure that the lifting device is suitable for the
task

If necessary, plan for a hoist, crane, or forklift with
the appropriate rating to move the unit

For lifting, use hoist rings on the unit, when
provided

2.3.3 Mounting

Mount the unit vertically

The drive allows side by side installation

Ensure that the strength of the mounting location
will support the unit weight

Mount the unit to a solid flat surface or to the
optional back plate to provide cooling airflow
(see Illustration 2.2 and Illustration 2.3)

Improper mounting can result in over heating
and reduced performance

Use the slotted mounting holes on the unit for
wall mounting, when provided

Illustration 2.2 Proper Mounting with Back Plate

Item A is a back plate properly installed for required
airflow to cool the unit.
