To lift equipment the weight of which exceeds
approx. 25 kg, you need the help of a second
person or suitable lifting gear.
Your physical strength and on-site regulations and
conditions determine what weight can be lifted and
if support is required.

Meet the requirements for storage also when
transporting the equipment.
 Prior to transport seal off connections with
sealing plugs.
If you do not have the sealing plugs
supplied with the equipment use
appropriate seal caps to seal off the
connections.

For short distances (only a few metres) you can
transport the equipment unpacked.

When transporting the equipment over larger
distances use the original packaging.

box that protects the equipment adequately
against corrosion and physical damage.
For a short period of time the equipment
may be transported even if the
temperature is below 0 °C, provided that
the equipment is completely empty and
dry.
