a protective hood bolted in place. Modules are also bolted
together at the top adjacent channels. See Figure 2.

following: (Note: Some items may not be provided depending
on battery configuration).

6.4 Unpacking
Carefully remove bolts and protective shipping hood. See
Figure 3. Remove the bolts holding modules to shipping pal-
let. Also remove hardware bolting upper channels of modules
together. Do not remove modules at this time. Base supports
for horizontally stacked modules are more easily attached
before removing modules from pallet (see Section 8.0 System
Assembly and Section 9.0 Connections).
Note: Placement of modules on shipping pallet has no rela-
tionship to final installation.

6.5 Handling
The design of the modular tray permits handling by a fork lift,
portable crane or by a hoist sling (see Figure 4). Whichever
method is used, make sure equipment can safely handle the
module weight.
Always use the two lifting straps and four lifting shackles for
lifting and placement of modules.
