Material Verification:
Battery racks are shipped
unassembled with a complete set of related drawings and
documentation. Check received parts and quantities against
the rack’s bill of materials on provided drawings and/or
packing list. Do not assemble rack if parts are missing or
quantities are incomplete.

Required Tools:
Torque wrench (0 to 65 ft.-lb.) with 9/16”
and 3/4” Hex socket. Adjustable wrench or 9/16” and 3/4” box
wrenches, tape measure, square and leveling device.
Note:
Consult manufacturer’s instructions for tools required to
install floor mounting hardware.

Location of Rack Assembly:
When determining rack
location and floor bolt pattern, use applicable drawings
provided with rack shipment. Locate the rack’s general position,
considering boundary and aisle clearances. Locate floor
mounting locations using provided drawings. See Figure 3.
Note:
Floor mounting hardware is to be determined in
accordance with applicable building codes, not by C&D.

Initial Assembly:
Place frames over installed floor
mounting hardware, finger tight. (Hardware not supplied by
C&D). All frames must face the same direction. Install back
cross braces, finger tight. See Figure 4. Do not install front
cross braces at this time (if required).
Note:
Cross bracing pattern along the length of the rack
may not necessarily be symmetric. Cross bracing pattern
and location(front, middle, or back) is detailed on assembly
drawing provided with the racks.
