1.1 General Terms of Delivery
All equipment, even if shipped ‘free of carriage and packing’, is dispatched at the consignee’s own risk
The person responsible for receiving the equipment must carry out a visual inspection to identify any damage to
the heat pump during transport (refrigerant system, body panels, electrical control box, frame). He/ she must note
down on the carrier’s delivery note any remarks concerning damage caused during transport and confirm them to
the carrier by registered letter within 48 hours.
The equipment must always be stored and transported vertically on a pallet and in its original packaging. If it is
stored or transported horizontally, wait at least 24 hours before switching it on.
1.2 Safety Instruction
WARNING: Please read carefully the safety instructions before using the equipment. The following
instructions are essential for safety so please strictly comply with them.
During installation and servicing
Only a qualified person may undertake installation, start-up, servicing and repairs, in compliance with
current standards.
Before operating or undertaking any work on the equipment (installation, commissioning, usage, servicing), the
person responsible must be aware of all the instructions in the heat pump’s installation manual as well as the
technical specifications.
Under no circumstances install the equipment close to a source of heat, combustible materials or a building’s air
intake.
If installation is not in a location with restricted access, a heat pump protective grille must be fitted.
To avoid severe burns, do not walk on pipe work during installation, repairs or maintenance.
To avoid severe burns, prior to any work on the refrigerant system, turn off the heat pump and wait several
minutes before placing temperature and pressure sensors. Check the refrigerant level when servicing the heat
pump.
Check that the high and low pressure switches are correctly connected to the refrigerant system and that
they turn off the electrical circuit if tripped during the equipment’s annual leakage inspection.
Check that there is no trace of corrosion or oil stains around the refrigerant components.
