Consider the following when planningyour installation: An integrated pallet at the bottom of the cabinet accepts the forks of a forklift or a pallet jack(see Figure 1.3.3 on page 1.3.6). The pallet opening runs front through rear, is 17 inches(43 cm) wide, 3.5 inches (9 cm) high and 7/8 inches (2 cm) above the floor level. Lifting accessis from front to rear so plan for appropriate lifting equipment clearances. Ensure the forlift orpallet jack is capable of lifting the transmitter’s weight (see “Weight”). If you are planing to use a forklift, make sure that its two forks will fit together within the17-inch (43 cm) wide space. If you are planning to use a pallet jack, arrange for a 27-inch wide jack.
