– Installation of Modules
The Liberty 2V battery systems can be shipped with the cells installed into
the modules or separately. Modules with cells installed are stacked
vertically and bolted to pallets for ease of transportation (See Figure A1 &
A2). When the cells are packed separately, they are shipped vertically on
a pallet. It is essential and the responsibility of the customer/installer to be
properly trained and have suitable equipment to handle these heavy
products. It is the responsibility of the customer/installer to provide a room
properly designed for a battery system, including appropriate ventilation,
aisle space, egress, floor load capabilities and a level mounting surface.
Unpacking and Handling
Do not remove shipping materials if a storage period is expected. The
battery modules are shipped in varying groups depending on cell size.
Lag bolts are used to attach the modules to the pallet along with a
protective honeycomb hood, cardboard packaging and shrink wrap
(See Figure A1).
Carefully remove all shipping materials and dispose of properly. Once all
shipping materials are removed unbolt the system from the shipping pallet.
Each system will be provided with one base assembly (See Figure A2) for
floor anchoring and should be removed first followed by any other bolted
connection leaving only the module rivets (See Figure A3, A4). The
design of the module allows for handling by a fork lift, portable crane or by
a battery lift table. When handling modules it is very important to use a
piece of insulating material such as shipping cardboard, plywood or rubber
insulating mat between handling equipment & battery terminals. Always
verify the lifting capacity of the equipment being used and never lift more
than one module at a time. Always us
e both lifting straps in an “X” pattern
as shown throughout this manual. The module assembly can be lifted by
either the front flanges or by a combination of holes on both flanges (See
Figure A3, A4 & A98. CAUTION: Cells are not completely restrained until
system is completely assembled therefore never tilt module forward.
