A strap kit (228336) for lifting the power supplies is available from Hypertherm. The strap kit should only be used to

lift the power supplies as outlined herein. Before using the strap kit, the customer understands and assumes exclusive

responsibility for supplying personnel trained and qualified to operate forklifts, cranes, hoists and other lifting devices to

lift or move the power supplies. All movement of the power supplies must be done in compliance with applicable local

laws and regulations. All handling equipment must be evaluated for each application and inspected and tested before

each use. The power supplies can be moved by forklift, but the forks must be long enough to extend the entire length of

the base. Take care when lifting so that the underside of the power supplies is not damaged. The customer agrees to

observe and ensure compliance with the following:

• The straps and other handling equipment must comply with applicable local standards, laws and regulations.

• The rated capacity, design factor, and efficiency rating of the lifting system, including the straps sold by

Hypertherm, may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration, age, and

other use conditions. An inspection of the straps by qualified personnel should be conducted before each use.

Worn or damaged straps may not be used, nor may they be altered or modified in any way.

• All 4 loops at the ends of the straps must be securely and properly attached to the lifting mechanism.

• The power supply is a nonsymmetrical load; ensure that an analysis by a qualified person is performed properly to

balance the load to prevent tipping and overloading of any one strap.

• All enclosure panels must be securely fastened before lifting the power supply.

• The lifting mechanism must be rated for the appropriate weight and be suitable for the strap size.

• Each strap should pass through all 4 holes in the base of the power supply and should not be twisted,

constricted, bunched or pinched.

• Straps shall not be shortened or lengthened by knotting, twisting, choker hitching, or other means.

• Each power supply should be lifted slowly, not more than 203 mm (8 in.) above the floor, to insure that the

weight is evenly distributed.

• Each power supply should be moved slowly to prevent sudden acceleration and deceleration when moving.

• Access to the area should be restricted when moving or lifting to prevent injury of personnel if the power supply

shifts or tips.
