Series 505 HPU Lift & Move Instructions 5
Lift and Move the HPU
Note To arrange for installation services, contact MTS Systems Corporation.
1. Unpack the HPU.
The HPU is crated and shipped on a wooden pallet.
A. Remove the shipping container (if used).
B. Remove the bolts from the wooden beams clamping the HPU to the
pallet.
C. Remove any packing straps or bolts as needed.
2. Inspect the HPU for shipping damage. Look for the following:
• Scratches in the HPU finish
• Damaged electrical connections
• Damaged hydraulic connections
• Dents and other structural damage
• Torn, kinked, or breaking hoses
Report any damage found to both the carrier and MTS.
3. Determine where the HPU will be located. Because it is connected to the
other hydraulic equipment through hydraulic lines, you can optimize the
HPU location.
The HPU is extremely heavy.
Improper handling of the HPU can seriously hurt you and damage the HPU.
Ensure that your chains, slings, forklift, pallet jack, and crane have a working
capacity greater than the HPU’s weight. See
“HPU Weights” on page 4 for
individual HPU model weights. Do not allow the HPU to drop.
4. Find the balance point of the HPU.
A. With someone else steadying the HPU, slightly lift the HPU to ensure
that you have found its balance point. Adjust the slings or other lifting
device until you find the balance point.
05.07/.11/.20/.30—Use a forklift, pallet jack, or overhead crane with
lifting straps. Verify your equipment has the capacity for the HPU.
