7 Transporting the Sunny Central

7.1 Safety during Transport

Danger of crushing through tipping, falling or swaying of raised or suspended Sunny Central
The Sunny Central can tip or fall as a result of being lifted and transported carelessly or too fast. This can result in death
or serious injury.
• Always transport the Sunny Central as close to the ground as possible.
• Use all suspension points for transportation.
• For transport by crane, use a hoist of adequate lifting capacity for the weight of the Sunny Central of max.
1,900 kg.
• Avoid fast or jerky movements during transport.
• Keep a safe distance from the Sunny Central at all times during transport.
• All means of transport used must be designed for the weight of the Sunny Central of 1,900 kg.
Damage to the Sunny Central due to inappropriate transport
Placing the Sunny Central on uneven surfaces can cause buckling so that the doors will no longer close properly.
As a result, moisture and dust can penetrate the interior of the Sunny Central.
• Never place the Sunny Central on an unpaved, uneven surface even for a short period of time.
• Do not transport the Sunny Central with mounted kick plates.
