5. Equipment transport
The unit must be protected, during transport, from mechanical knocks, vibrations, water splashes (rain) and any
other product or situation which may damage it or alter its behaviour. Failure to observe these instructions may
lead to loss of warranty on the product, for which Ingeteam is not responsible.
5.1. Transport
Transport using a pallet truck
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1.
Place the packaged units centred with respect to the forks.
2.
Try to locate them as close as possible to the part where the forks and the steering unit meet.
3.
In all cases, observe the instructions in the pallet truck's user manual.
Transport using a forklift truck
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1.
Place the packaged units centred with respect to the forks.
2.
Try to locate them as close as possible to the part where the forks and the steering unit meet.
3.
Ensure that the forks are perfectly level to avoid overturning the unit.
4.
In any case, observe the instructions in the forklift truck's user manual.
Once the unit has been transported to the place where it is to be located and only when it is to be installed,
unpack the unit.
At this time, it can be transported vertically over a short distance without packaging. Follow the guidelines
indicated in the following point.
Transport of the unpackaged unit
At least the following requirements should be observed:
1.
Use the two side holes to grasp the unit with both hands.
2.
Follow the necessary ergonomic advice for lifting weights.
3.
Do not release the unit until it is perfectly secured or placed.
4.
Ask someone else to guide the movements to be made.
5.2. Unpacking
Correct handling of the units is vitally important in order to:
•
Prevent damage to the packaging which enables them to be kept in optimum condition from shipping
until they are installed.
•
Avoid knocks and/or falls which may harm the mechanical characteristics of the units, e.g. cause incorrect
closure of doors, loss of protection rating, etc.
•
Avoid, as far as possible, vibrations which may cause subsequent malfunction.
If you observe any anomaly, please contact Ingeteam immediately.
Separating the packaging
You can deliver all the packaging to a non-hazardous waste management company.
In any event, each part of the packaging may be recycled as follows:
•
Plastic (polystyrene, bag and bubble wrap): the appropriate container.
•
Cardboard: the appropriate container.
