4. Inspection - Storage
4.1
Upon receipt of the model immediately check its state of integrity; immediately dispute with the transport company any
damage. The packaging is created according to the model, to the suitable means of transport and of handling.
4.2
The model must be stored in its original packaging in a place that is protected and away from weathering.
4.3
Do not place any other material on top of the packaging.
4.4
If the model is allowed to be stacked, follow the instructions on the packaging.
4.5
If a motor fan is switched OFF for a long period of time, it must be switched ON for at least 2 hours every month to remove
any traces of condensation that may have formed inside the motor.
4.6
The following rules apply when the unit must remain in storage for long periods of time. The unit must be stored indoors
and positioned according to the instructions on the package. During storage, the fans must be manually rotated at least
once every 3 months.
5. Handling and installation
5.1
The models are supplied in a cardboard box and/or wooden cage.
5.2
The packaged model must be moved by qualified personnel using a forklift truck of suitable capacity, or with crane and/or
overhead crane (see Chapter 7). The lifting brackets must be longer than the depth of the packaging and/or of the model.
Avoid any abrupt movement and do not stand close to the manoeuvring area. Always ensure that the models are secured
to the hoists before handling operations. A heavy impact or a strong thrust can overturn the model.
5.3
The model must always be kept in position as indicated on the packaging.
5.4
Avoid applying improper pressure to the packaging during handling. Take care not to damage the headers.
5.5
Unpack the unit close to the installation site.
5.6
Always use PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) during handling and installation, e.g. gloves that are sufficiently resistant
to mechanical hazards, to reduce the risk of injury in the event of contact with sharp sheet metal edges or the finned pack.
5.7
It is essential to take all the necessary measures to ensure the complete safety of the operators in order to prevent the
model from accidentally falling against people. It is forbidden to work under a suspended load. It is advisable to prepare
a structure of greater capacity than the weight to be supported (trestle or props) on which to place the model.
5.8
When installation is complete, remove the protective film covering the model.
5.9
When installation is complete, dispose of packaging according to local regulations.
