Only qualifi ed personnel shall operate rigging and lift-
ing equipment. Ensure that the lifting device is capable
of lifting the weight of the compressor unit, refer to the
supplied Vilter General Assembly (GA) drawing.
To lift the compressor unit, use lifting points on com-
pressor unit frame to attach the lifting device, see Figure
3-1. There are a few points to consider prior to moving
the unit:
• Ensure that the weight is evenly distributed amongst
the lifting device (i.e. lifting chains and spreader bar)
prior to lifting.
• Ensure that the lifting device is not obstructed by any
parts of the compressor unit to prevent damage to
components.
• Use additional personnel as needed to spot and aid in
maneuvering the compressor unit.
• Ensure there is plenty of space to maneuver the com-
pressor unit and a clear path to its location.
Delivery Inspection
All equipment supplied by Vilter are thoroughly inspect-
ed at the factory. However, damage can occur in ship-
ment. For this reason, the units should be thoroughly
inspected upon arrival, prior to off-loading. Any dam-
age noted should be photographed and reported im-
mediately to the transportation company. This way, an
authorized agent can examine the unit, determine the
extent of damage and take necessary steps to rectify the
claim with no serious or costly delays. At the same time,
the local Vilter representative or the home offi ce should
be notifi ed of any claims made within ten (10) days after
its discovery. Refer to long term storage for additional
recommendations.
