  INSTALLATION 

4.1

 MOVING AND POSITIONING THE UNIT 

The units have been designed to be lifted from above by means of eyebolts and holes in the base members. 

Use retractor bars to keep the lifting wires or chains away from the unit. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lifting procedures provided with the unit have to be respected. 

 

 

CAUTION 

Do not use forklift trucks to lift the unit from below. If equipment for lifting from above is not available, using rollers may move the 

unit. The surface on which the unit is placed must be flat and strong enough to withstand the weight of the unit while running. In 

order to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the supporting structures, fit shock absorbers in every fastening point. Rubber 

shock absorbers are recommended for units installed on the ground, spring shock absorbers for units installed on roofs. Open 

spaces around the unit must be provided for in order to allow for the passage of necessary airflow and in order to allow normal 

maintenance to be carried out (as shown on general catalogues). 

 

 

IMPORTANT:

 Make sure that during transport the RAUS / RAUX unit ALWAYS remains in the correct position! 

In example horizontal positioning of the unit can lead to irreversible damage to the compressors.  

Damage arising from incorrect transport will not be under warranty by the manufacturer.  

Immediately report an incorrect receipt of goods.

  

An arrow positioned upward indicates the vertical position of the unit.
