Transporting the heat pump

Caution.
Risk of damage due to improper trans-
portation.
Regardless of the mode of transport, the heat
pump must never be tilted by more than 45°.
Otherwise, this may lead to malfunctions in
the coolant circuit during subsequent opera-
tion. In the worst case scenario, this may lead
to a fault in the whole system.
▶
During transport, do not tilt the heat pump
by any more than the maximum angle of
45°.
▶
Transport the product to the installation site. Use the
recessed handles on the rear and the retractable straps
at the front on the underside of the product as an aid.
▶
Transport the product using a suitable sack truck. Only
position the sack truck at the rear so that the weight dis-
tribution is as even as possible. Secure the product using
a retaining strap.
▶
Use a ramp to move the product from the pallet using
the sack truck, e.g. a piece of square timber and a sturdy
board.
