1. Follow the check list in “Section 7 - Unit Inspection and Preparation for Installation” on pages 30 and 31 before installing the corner units to ensure units are
ready for installation.
2. Verify the adjacent unit has been installed properly with regard to established bench marks before installing corner units. If previous units are not in the
correct location, make necessary adjustments to align the units with the benchmark reference locations.
3. Corner units should be lifted by the two splice bars and the lifting lug (see Figure 113) attached at the head of each unit. The splice bars are also used to
align the units when stacked vertically.
