Warning: AHU casing units may tip over
WARNING!
Risk of injury from AHU casing units tipping
over!
Tall AHU casing units with a small footprint, e.g.
rotary heat exchangers, may easily tip over and
therefore pose an increased risk during unloading,
transportation and installation.
Be sure to take adequate precautions:
–
Use additional means to secure the casing units,
e.g. ratchet straps (by others).
–
Use only lifting and transport gear designed for
the required load.
–
Keep the casing units secured against shifting
and tipping over until installation is complete.
Unbalanced loads and centre of gravity
WARNING!
Risk of injury from falling or toppling loads!
Loads may be unbalanced, i.e. the centre of gravity
may not be obvious. If the load is not properly
attached to the lifting equipment, it may topple and
fall. Falling or toppling loads can cause serious inju-
ries.
–
Note that the centre of gravity is marked on each
package.
–
When you use a crane to move loads, ensure
that the centre of gravity of the load is directly
beneath the crane hook.
–
Lift any load carefully and keep an eye on it to
see whether it will stay in place. If required,
change the lashing point(s).

Sharp edges, sharp corners and thin sheet metal
parts
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from sharp edges, sharp cor-
ners and thin sheet metal parts!
Sharp edges, sharp corners and thin sheet metal
parts of the heat exchanger or of the cooling or
heating coil may cause cuts or grazes.
–
Be careful when working on these components.
–
Wear protective gloves, safety shoes and a hard
hat.
Damage to goods being moved
NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property due to the incorrect
handling or lifting of units!
If you handle or move packages incorrectly, they
may topple or fall. This can cause considerable
damage to property.
–
Do not put down packages hard and do not
knock against them with force. Watch out for pro-
truding parts.
–
When you are moving units for outdoor installa-
tion, be careful that the thin metal roof is not
damaged by the lifting gear.
3.3.2 Moving packages with a forklift or
pallet truck
Air handling units differ in weight and may have different
lashing points. See the order-specific technical docu-
ments for details.
