Storage and transport
3.1 General
The domestic hot water heat pump should always be stored and
transported packaged in an upright position, without being filled
with water. If handled carefully, the device can be transported
over short distances with a maximum tilt angle of 45°. Ambient
temperatures between -20 and +60 °C are permissible during
transport and storage.
3.2 Fork lift (or lift truck) transport
The domestic hot water heat pump must remain mounted on the
pallet when being transported with a fork lift. The pump should be
lifted slowly. Because of its high centre of mass, the domestic hot
water heat pump must be secured against toppling. To prevent
damage, the domestic hot water heat pump must be lowered
onto a level surface.
3.3 Manual transport
The wooden pallet can be used underneath the device for the
purpose of manual transportation. A second or third carrying po-
sition can be created with the help of ropes or carrying slings
(these may be wrapped around the cylinder casing and attached
to the water pipe nipples). When transporting the heat pump in
this manner (or with a hand truck), do not, under any circum-
stances, exceed the max. tilt angle of 45° (see illustration).
ATTENTION!
The device cover cannot be used for carrying (the cover cannot withstand
significant forces).

3.4 Opening the device
The device cover is divided in two. To access the inside of the
device or to make transport easier (prevent damage), both cover
parts can be removed. To do this, the four locks must be opened
with quarter-turns in anti-clockwise direction (the lock symbol
pointing towards the front shows the status of the lock).
The cover can then be removed to the front.
To remove the air circuit cover, the two locking screws must be
removed. The cover can then be removed to the rear.
