General information
Please observe the generally accepted safety and accident prevention regu-
lations when transporting the compressor. BOGE accepts no liability for dam-
age caused by improper transport!
Transport the compressor to the installation site as described in the sections
which follow.
How to transport the
compressor
Using forklift truck or lifting cart
Fig. 3.1: Transport with forklift truck
WARNING!
The transport of the compressor must only be carried out by adequately
instructed and authorised personnel!
The capacity of the lifting gear (lifting cart or forklift truck) must correspond
atleast to that of the compressor / the system (see section entitled 2.1 Tech-
nical data)!
Note the position of the centre of gravity prior to lifting the compressor!
The position of the centre of gravity is specified both in the attached dimen-
sioned drawing and on the compressor packaging.
Any loose or pivoting parts must be removed before lifting the unit.
Lifting rings on individual components (such as electric motors) are only
intended for lifting individual components, not for lifting the entire compres-
sor!
The compressor is delivered filled with oil. Do not tilt during transport!
WARNING!
Improper transportation can damage the compressor. During transport, the
safety covers must not be subjected to any forces or loads.
Ensure that the forks are underneath
the base frame of the compressor
(see illustration).
