- Uninterruptible Power Supply:
- UPS 250 (S/N: BEE1-UP)
Introduction
The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system is attached to two skids. These skids are constructed of foam that is sandwiched between two pieces of wood. The skids are attached to the UPS system by four bolts. The shipping crate (optional) is attached to the wood that is on the bottom of the skid. These skids provide protection from shock and vibration.
Wood blocks are used to support the system prior to installation. These wood blocks are attached to the skids. Do not discard these wood blocks until the system is installed.

Refer to Illustration 3. Four 0.5 inch bolts (5) secure the system to the skids. The system must be lifted over these bolts in order to remove the skids. Lift the system with a fork lift or lift the system with a pallet jack.
Wood blocks are fastened to the skid in order to distribute the weight evenly over the skids. These blocks are used in order to support the system.
Using a Fork Lift

If a fork lift is used, the following procedure is used in order to remove the skids.
- Remove the screws from the two boards (4) .
- Remove two boards (4). These boards will be used later. Save these boards in a safe location.
- Remove four nuts (5) from the four bolts that secure the system to two skids (2) .
- Insert the forks from the right side of the system.
- Lift the system slightly in order to remove the weight from the blocks.
- Remove four blocks (1). These blocks will be used later. Save these blocks in a safe location.
- Lower the system on the skids (2) .
- Move the fork lift to the front of the system. Insert the forks between the steel channel cleats. This is the area that was occupied by the blocks (1) .
- Test the placement of the forks. Lift the system enough to remove the weight from the two skids (2) .
- If the system is securely balanced on the forks, proceed to Step 11. If the system is NOT securely balanced on the forks, reposition the fork lift.
- Lift the system in order to clear the bolts.
- Move the skids away from the system.

- Remove the steel channel cleats from the system. While the steel channel cleats are being attached to the floor, use the wood blocks in order to support the system.
Note: Plywood is attached to the blocks. When you support the system, ensure that the blocks have the same orientation. Do not support the system on the plywood (9) .
Using a Pallet Jack
If a pallet jack is used, the following procedure is used in order to remove the skids. Refer to Illustration 3.
- Remove the screws from the boards (4) .
- Remove the two boards (4). These boards will be used later. Save these boards in a safe location.
- Remove the four nuts (5) from the four bolts that secure the system to the two skids (2) .
- Insert the pallet jack from the right side of the system.
- Lift the system slightly in order to remove the weight from the blocks.
- Remove four blocks (1). These blocks will be used later. Save these blocks in a safe location.
- Test the placement of the pallet jack. Lift the system enough to remove the weight from the two skids (2) .
- If the system is securely balanced on the pallet jack, proceed to Step 9. If the system is NOT securely balanced on the jack, reposition the pallet jack.
- Lift the system in order to provide clearance for the bolts. Refer to Illustration 4.
- Move the skids away from the system.
- Place the blocks under the steel channel cleats in order to evenly support the system. Orient the blocks so that the plywood is NOT supporting the system. Refer to Illustration 5.

(8) Block (9) Plywood | |
- Slowly lower the pallet jack until the system is evenly supported by the blocks.
- Move the pallet jack to the front of the system.
- Refer to Illustration 3 and Illustration 6. Place the two boards (11) on the forks of the pallet jack. This provides the height that is required in order to provide clearance over the blocks (10) .

- Insert the forks between the steel channel cleats. This is the area that was occupied by the blocks (1) .
- Test the placement of the pallet jack. Lift the system enough to remove the weight from the blocks (10) .
- If the system is securely balanced on the pallet jack, proceed to Step 18. If the system is NOT securely balanced on the pallet jack, reposition the pallet jack.
- Move the blocks away from the system.
- Remove the steel channel cleats from the system. While the steel channel cleats are being attached to the floor, use the wood blocks in order to support the system.
