Transport, Handling, Storage; Packing And Unpacking - Fiac AB598 Normas Generales Para La Instalacion, Uso Y Mantenimiento

In order to use the compressor in complete safety read the safety standards before reading this section.
◊ 2.1 Transporting and handling the packed machine
The packed compressor must be transported by qualified personnel using a forklift truck.
Before moving the machine ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the forklift truck is sufficient to take the weight to
be lifted.
Position the forks exclusively as illustrated below. Once the forks have been positioned in the points indicated, lift
slowly without jerking.
Never stand near the area where the compressor is being handled and never stand on the crate while it is being
moved.
◊ 2.2 Packing and unpacking
To avoid damages and to protect the compressor during transport it is usual-
ly placed on a wooden pallet, to which it is secured by screws and covered
with cardboard.
All the shipping and handling information and symbols are printed on the
compressor packing. Upon consignment remove the top part of the packing
and check if any damages have been encountered during transport. If any da-
mages are found, caused during transport, immediately make a written claim,
backed up with photos of the damaged parts if possible and forward everything
to your insurance company, with copy to the Manufacturer and transporter.
Using a forklift truck take the compressor as near as possible to the place
where it is to be installed then carefully remove the protective packing without
damaging it, following the instructions below:
• Remove the packing , by sliding it away upwards.
• Unscrew the blocking screws at the base.
Note! The compressor can be left on the packing pallet to make it easier to
move.
Carefully ensure that the contents correspond with all written in the consign-
ment documents.
Dispose of the packing in compliance with current standards in force in the
country of installation.
Note! The machine must be unpacked by qualified personnel using appro-
priate tools and equipment.
◊ 2.3 Storing the packed and unpacked
For the whole time that the compressor is not used before unpacking it, store it in a dry place at a temperature between
+5°C and + 40°C and sheltered away from weather.
For the whole time that the compressor is not used after unpacking it, while waiting to start it up or due to production
stoppages, place sheets over it to protect it from dust, which may settle on the components.
The oil is to be replaced and the operational efficiency of the compressor is to be checked if it is not used for long
periods.
