These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis. Statement 5

Lifting the Chassis (Cisco uBR7225VXR Router Shown)
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never install equipment that appears damaged.
