

Keep the controller in an upright position. Some units are
top-heavy and may fall over if they are tilted too far.



Ensure all controller doors are closed and retaining bolts are
tight before moving the controller.



Keep the controller bolted to the shipping skid to minimize
the possibility of it tipping. Do not remove the skid until the
controller is at the installation area.



For handling of NEMA 3R enclosures, refer to your
instruction manual or contact Rockwell Automation.

Never attempt to lift or move the controller by
any means other than the handling methods
listed in this publication. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or damage to the
controller.
