6.1.3 Lifting an Upright Air Handler

All air handlers are shipped in the horizontal position.

Prior to lifting an upright air handler, the following 

steps must be performed (

See Page 11, Figure 2):

Step 1: The air handler must be lifted using the two 

lifting lugs on the top of the discharge end and the 

two lifting lugs on the inlet end, using a spreader bar 

across the long axis. Lift the air handler off the skid 

and place it on a flat, clean, dry surface.

Step 2: Remove the lifting lugs on the inlet end of the 

air handler and re-install hardware. 

Step 3: Use all four lifting lugs on the discharge end 

of the air handler to enable the air handler to be lifted 

into the upright position. 

Step 4: Lift the air handler into upright position.

Step 5: Next, refer to the applicable portions of 

Page 

16, Section 9 for specific mounting instructions.
