7.6 Transporting the Inverter Using a Pallet Truck
Requirements:
☐ The pallet truck must be designed to take the weight of the inverter.
☐ The kick plates of the inverter must be disassembled.
Procedure:
1. If the inverter is to be transported on a wooden pallet, drive the
pallet truck under the inverter from the rear side (as seen from the
front of the inverter).
2. If the inverter is to be transported without a wooden pallet, the
pallet truck must always be positioned under the inverter from the
inverter cabinet side. When doing so, ensure that you do not
damage the side panels of the inverter with the forks.
3. Slightly lift the inverter.
4. Transport the inverter to the mounting location and set down on a
suitable surface.
