7.5 Transporting the Sunny Central Using a Forklift

Danger of crushing if the Sunny Central tips over
With the kick plates mounted at the rear of the Sunny Central, the supporting surface of the Sunny Central on the forks
of the forklift is inadequate. Vibrations during transport may cause the Sunny Central to slip off the forklift and tip over.
This can result in death or serious injury.
• Disassemble all kick plates before transporting the inverter by forklift.
• When the kick plates are mounted, always stabilize the Sunny Central with crane slings or steel chains during
transport.
Requirements:
☐ The forklift must be designed to take the weight of the Sunny Central.
☐ All kick plates must be removed.
Procedure:
1. Position the forklift under the Sunny Central either from the front or
the rear. Take the center of gravity of the Sunny Central into
account and move the forklift truck right under the Sunny Central.
2. Stabilize the Sunny Central using e.g. tension belts.
3. Slightly raise the Sunny Central.
4. Transport the Sunny Central to the mounting location and set down on a suitable surface.
