Instruction Manual 9

1.2.- TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the unit must

be carried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual

or mechanical tools to prevent damage to the unit.

If the unit is not to be immediately installed, it must be stored at a

location with a firm and level floor, and the storage conditions listed in

the section must be observed. 1.3.- STORAGE

In such a case, the unit should be kept in its original protective

packaging.

To move the unit a short distance, the unit's floor support profiles facilitate

handling with a pallet jack or forklift. (

Figure 2

)

The centre of gravity of some units may be found at a considerable

height. Therefore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended

that the unit be securely fastened and that no abrupt operations are

made. The unit should not be lifted more than 20 cm off the ground.

Figure 2: Transport with pallet jack

When unloading and moving the unit, use a forklift with forks long enough to

support the entire length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long

enough to support at least ¾ of said depth. The forks must be flat and supported

firmly by the base. The cabinet must be raised by placing the forks underneath

the profile that supports the unit. (
