6 Transport and storage
For transporting and storing the product always observe the environmental condi-
tions specified in the technical data (see installation drawing).
Bosch Rexroth manifolds/modules are high-quality products. In order to prevent
damage at these products, transport the manifolds/modules in the original
packaging or with equivalent transport protection.
6.1 Transporting the manifold/module
Unsecured manifolds and modules toppling over or falling down!
Unsecured manifold blocks/modules may topple over or fall down and bruise or kill
persons if they are heavy and lead to serious injuries and/or crush injuries.
▶
Use the original packaging for transport.
▶
Provide for a stable position during transport to the place of installation.
▶
Transport and secure the manifold block/module at the intended lifting eyes and
attachment points and not at parts with little stability, e.g. valves, solenoids,
connectors and cables.
▶
Transport the manifold complying with the safety instructions and using a fork-
lift or suitable lifting tools. Make sure that the lifting capacity of the lifting tool
is sufficient.
▶
Wear your personal protective equipment.
▶
Comply with the national laws and regulations regarding occupational health
and safety and transport.
Heavy components!
When lifting a manifold/module with a high weight of more than 15 kg, there is the
risk of health hazards.
▶
Use a suitable lifting, putting down and moving technique.
▶
Use suitable lifting tools for transporting heavy manifolds/modules.
▶
During transport, secure the manifold/module against toppling over.
▶
Put the manifold/module carefully onto the contact surface in order not to
damage it.
6.1.1 Transport using lifting tools
In transport, consider the following aspects:
• Properties of the load (e.g. weight, center of gravity, mounting and
attachment points).
• Type of attachment or pick-up of the load.
