SERVICE UPON RECEIPT OF MATERIAL. - continued
WARNING
Do not allow unit to swing while suspended from a lifting device. Failure to observe warning
may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
CAUTION
Use care in handling to avoid damage to the air conditioner. If an overhead lifting device must
be used, use an appropriate sling so that the weight of the unit is borne by the base of the
shipping container.

Unpacking. (See figure 4-2.)
(1)
Normally, the packaged air conditioner should be moved into the immediate area in which it is to be
installed before it is unpacked.
NOTE
The shipping container is designed to allow for reuse for mobility purposes if frequent relocation
of the air conditioner is anticipated.
(2)
Cut the metal bands that hold the top and sides of the container to the base. Lift the container
vertically and remove it from the base and cabinet.
(3)
Remove the cushioning around the top of the cabinet and retain, if reuse is anticipated. Remove the
preservation barrier by tearing around the bottom of the cabinet. Remove the technical publications envelope and
accessory sack that are taped to the cabinet and put them in a safe place.
WARNING
DO NOT LIFT without holding unit in upright position. Otherwise, unit will fall over causing
injury to personnel.
NOTE
It is recommended that the cabinet be left bolted to the shipping pallet until time to place it in the
installation position. All receiving inspection actions can be conducted without removal from
the pallet.
(4)
Attach an overhead hoist with an appropriate sling and spreader bar to the lifting handles provided at
each side of the cabinet. Raise the cabinet and remove the four carriage bolt assemblies that hold the tiedown bars to
the pallet from the underside of the pallet. Remove the four bolts that hold the two tiedown bars to the unit base.
Remove and retain the pallet and carriage bolt assemblies and the tiedown bars and bolts, if reuse is anticipated. Be
sure to remove all remaining barrier material from the underside of the cabinet base. Lower the cabinet to the floor in the
desired position and remove the sling and hoist.
NOTE
The bolts used to anchor the cabinet base to the tiedown bars may be used to anchor it in place
in the installed location if the installation method allows for anchoring from beneath.
