2.3 Storage
The heat pump must be stored upright without water and in its packaging.
2.4 Transport
When carefully transporting the heat pump over short distances, it can be tilted
up to 45°C. If this limit is exceeded, the heat pump must stand in its normal up-
right position for at least 1 hour before it may be started.
Transport and storage may take place at temperatures between -10 and +50 °C.
The heat pumps top / casing is not suitable for lifting with and must be
carefully avoided during transport.
2.4.1 Transport with forklift
For transport with a forklift, the heat pump must stand on the associated trans-
port frame. Always lift it slowly. Due to the high position of the centre of gravity,
the heat pump must be secured against tipping during
transportation.
2.4.2 Unloading the heat pump
In order to avoid damages, the heat pump must be unloaded on a flat surface.
2.4.3 Transport with trolley
The heat pump may only be transported on an associated transport frame.
The heat pump must be secured against sliding on the trolley.
Water connections, etc., may not be used for transportation purposes.
Make sure that the trolley does not damage the cabinet and the
connections.
2.5 Placement /set-up
The heat pump may only be installed in a frost-free room.
The installation location should comply with the following criteria:
• Room temperature between 0 and +35°C.
• Drain possibility for condensate water.
• No abnormal dust concentration in the air.
• Solid base (approx. 500 kg/m²)
• To achieve problem-free functioning and to allow access for service, it is
recommended that 0,5 m free space be maintained around the unit.
Set-up sequence:
1. Remove the packaging from the pallet.
2. Remove the transport fittings from the pallet.
3. Take the heat pump off the pallet and place it at the desired
location.
Adjust the heat pump vertically by adjusting the feet.
