1. Safety & Handling (cont.)
The necessary protective equipment, and fi re extinguishers
suitable for the system and type of refrigerant used must be
accessible.
Avoid spilling liquid refrigerant on skin or eyes. Use goggles. If
the skin is aff ected, wash with soap and water. If the refrigerant
comes into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water and see a doctor.
Never apply open fl ame or active steam to a refrigerant
container, as this may cause a dangerous pressure increase. If
you need to heat the refrigerant, use only hot water.
Do not reuse disposable cylinders or try to refi ll them. It is
dangerous and illegal. When cylinders are empty, relief the
pressure of the remaining gas, and dispose them according
to local regulations. Do not incinerate.
Do not attempt to remove components or refrigerant circuit
accessories, while the machine is pressurized or running. Make
sure that the pressure is 0 kPa before removing components
or opening a circuit.
Do not attempt to repair or retrofi t any safety devices when
they are corroded or there is build-up of unknown material
(rust, dirt, limescale, etc.) within the body or valve mechanism.
Replace the device as necessary. Do not install safety valves in
series or reversed.
ATTENTION
Do not step on refrigerant lines. They can break because
of the weight and release refrigerant, causing personal
injuries. Never climb on a machine. Use a platform
or scaff olding to work on a higher plane.
Use mechanical equipment (crane, lift, etc.) to lift or move
heavy equipment such as compressors or plate heat
exchangers. With lighter components, use lifting equipment
when there is risk of slipping or loss of balance.
Use only original spare parts for any repair or replacement
of components. See the list of replacement parts that
corresponds to original equipment specifi cations.
Close the inlet and outlet water shutoff valves, and evacuate
the hydronic circuit of the unit before working on components
(screen fi lter, pump, water fl ow switch, etc.).
Regularly inspect all valves, fi ttings and pipes of the hydronic
and refrigerant circuits to make sure that they do not present
corrosion or signs of leakage.

1.2. Transportation
The current standards for transportation, handling and
lifting (in the latest available revision) shall be observed:
Also observe the following general recommendations:
a)
Avoid damaging the equipment by not removing it
from its packaging until it reaches the fi nal installation
site.
b)
For equipment installation or storage, the base fl oor
must be levelled.
c)
Avoid ropes, chains or steel cables from touching the
units to prevent damaging them.
d)
Do not rock the unit during transport and do not tilt it
more than 15º from the vertical.
e)
Follow the stacking limit indicated in the unit packages.
ATTENTION
Check the weights (Tables 1) and dimensions of the units
(sub-item 3.5 - Dimensions) to ensure that your handling
devices can support the units safely.
1.3. Handling
Handling of forklifts shall be carried out in accordance with
the following recommendations:
•
The forks of the forklift should be inserted into the base
of the wooden package in the existing bay.
•
Make sure the forks are long enough to support both
sides of the package. If necessary, use stretchers (on
forks) to prevent the forks from touching any part of the
product.
•
Special attention is required for possible product
components or parts that may be protruding from the
package to prevent damaging them during handling.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that all unit panels are properly secured
before moving them.
