4.3.3 Observe center of gravity
WARNING
Danger to life if center of gravity specifications are not strictly observed
The cabinet is heavy. The center of gravity can be in the upper half of the cabinet. The unit can
tip over if you transport it incorrectly – or if you use transport equipment that is not permitted
for the purpose. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Ensure that only trained personnel transport the device with approved transport equipment
and lifting tools.
● Observe the center of gravity specifications. A label or stamp is attached to each transport
unit that defines the center of gravity of the cabinet.
● Do not tilt the device or allow it to fall.
The following figure shows the centers of gravity as an example: Carefully note the centers of
gravity when performing any lifting or installation work.

4.3.4 Transport with a fork-lift truck
WARNING
Danger when a transport unit/cabinet tips over
If the forks are too short, this can cause the transport unit/cabinet to tip over resulting in death,
serious injury, or damage to the cabinet.
● The forks of the truck must protrude at the rear of the transport pallet. The floor panels of
the transport units will not support a load.
● Only use fork-lift trucks approved for this purpose to transport the units.
When the transport units are transported or moved with a fork-lift truck, the force is absorbed
through the transport pallet.
Observe the following points for safe transport:
● Transport the transport unit/cabinet with the greatest care.
● Choose the lowest transport height possible. The pallet may not touch the ground. Always
transport the cabinet in an upright position.
● Avoid driving over bumps.
