4. Transporting the equipment
You must protect the unit, during transport, from mechanical knocks, vibrations, water splashes (rain) and any
other product or situation which may damage it or alter its behavior. Failure to observe these instructions may lead
to loss of warranty on the product, for which Ingeteam is not responsible.
4.1. Transport
Transport using a pallet truck
You must observe at least the following requirements:
1.
Place the packaged units centered with respect to the forks.
2.
Try to locate them as close as possible to the part where the forks and the steering unit meet.
3.
In all cases, observe the instructions in the pallet truck's user manual.
Transport using a forklift truck
You must observe at least the following requirements:
1.
Place the packaged units centered with respect to the forks.
2.
Try to locate them as close as possible to the part where the forks and the steering unit meet.
3.
Ensure that the forks are perfectly level to avoid overturning the unit.
4.
Observe the instructions in the forklift truck's user manual under all circumstances.
Once the unit has been transported to the place where it is to be located and only when it is to be installed,
unpack the unit.
At this time, it can be transported vertically over a short distance without packaging. Follow the guidelines
indicated in the following point.
Transport of the unpackaged unit
You must observe at least the following requirements:
1.
Follow the necessary ergonomic advice for lifting weights.
2.
Do not release the unit until it is perfectly secured or placed.
3.
Ask someone else to guide the movements to be made.
4.2. Unpacking
Correct handling of the units is vitally important in order to:
•
Prevent damage to the packaging which enables them to be kept in optimum condition from shipping
until they are installed.
•
Avoid knocks and/or falls which may harm the mechanical characteristics of the units, e.g. cause
incorrect closure of doors, loss of IP rating, etc.
•
Avoid, as far as possible, vibrations which may cause subsequent malfunction.
If you observe any anomaly, please contact Ingeteam immediately.
Separating the packaging
All the packaging can be delivered to a non-hazardous waste management company.
In any event, each part of the packaging may be recycled as follows:
•
Plastic (polystyrene, bag and bubble wrap): the appropriate container.
•
Cardboard: the appropriate container.
