Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of
each item have been received. If any items are missing,
report shortages to your local representative to arrange
for obtaining missing parts. Confirmation of shipment(s)
must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.
Storage
Units are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the unit and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user.
The ideal environment for the storage of units and
accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity
atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of
blowing dust, rain, or snow. Units designed for outdoor
applications may be stored outdoors.
Indoor
Maintain temperatures evenly to prevent condensation.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid
condensation, allow cold parts to reach room
temperature. Leave coverings loose to permit air
circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ in. (89 mm) off the
floor. Clearance should be provided to permit air
circulation and space for inspection.
Outdoor
The unit should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the unit. The unit should be
elevated so that it is above water and snow levels.
Ensure sufficient support to prevent unit from settling into
soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air
circulation, sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To
minimize water accumulation, place all unit parts on
blocking supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing
through heating and cooling cycles
Inspection and Maintenance
While in storage, inspect units once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the
source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection. If paint deterioration begins, consideration
should be given to touch-up or repainting.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur.
Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating
with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths.
Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth
or fine emery paper and oil.
Do not destroy the
continuity of the surfaces.
