The chapter "Safety instructions" must be heeded!
4.1 Packaging
Packaging the tanks for the purpose of transport or storage
is not necessary if the following points are observed.
Note:
The ingress of impurities (dirt, dust, etc.) into the se-
wage plant during the construction phase must be avoided.
If necessary, covers must be attached to all openings.
4.2 Transport
• Transport must only be carried out by companies who are
in possession of the technical experience, suitable imple-
ments, equipment and means of transport, as well as ade-
quately trained personnel.
• The tanks must be transported such that they are not sub-
ject to undue stresses and that a dislocation during trans-
port is ruled out. If restraints are used, these must be atta-
ched such that damage to the tanks is ruled out (e.g. use
of canvas belts or loop belts). The use of wire ropes or
chains is not permissible.
• When lifting, transporting and putting down the tanks, im-
pact loads must be avoided. If a fork lift is used, the tanks
must be secured while they are transported on the fork lift.
It is not permissible to roll or drag the tanks across the floor.
It is forbidden to roll or drag containers over sharp-edged
surfaces. The containers used for loading and unloading
may only be pushed or pulled on the loading platform of a
lorry. During transport, shipping strap(s) should be firmly
connected to inlet and outlet!
• The tanks must be secured against undue dislocations du-
ring transport. The manner of fastening may not damage
the tanks.
4.3
Storage
If it is necessary to store the tanks prior to installation, this
may only be done temporarily and on level ground that has
been cleared of any sharp-edged objects. In case of outdoor
storage, the tanks must be protected against damage, expo-
sure to storms and soiling.
