Attention - Drop hazard.

Complete the following steps to lift and move the cabinet to the designated site:

  1. Remove the four plugs from the four corners on the top of the cabinet frame.
    Figure 5. Lifting the rack cabinet

  2. Install one M10 eye bolt to each hole, and make sure they stay solidly connected to the cabinet.
  3. Connect the four eye bolts to the hook of a crane lifter, and make sure the cord length allows an angle more than 75˚.
  4. Lift the cabinet and place it to the designated site.

After moving the cabinet to the designated site, complete the following steps:

  1. Make sure the leveling feet are down and make firm contact to the ground. If not, insert a 13-mm open-ended wrench into the screw above one of the feet, and turn it clockwise until the foot makes firm contact with the floor.

  2. Repeat the same procedure on the other three feet until the cabinet is levelled with balance. To make sure the cabinet is balanced, slightly push the cabinet and make sure it does not shake or tilt.

    Note
    The leveling feet provide a stable base if the floor is slightly uneven, but they cannot compensate for a badly sloped surface.

  3. Connect the grounding cable.
