4.2
Safer design of the condensate discharge
The product contains R290 refrigerant. In the event of a leak,
escaping refrigerant may get into the ground via the con-
densate discharge. The refrigerant must not get into the
waste-water system.
For the ground installation, the condensate must be dis-
charged via a downpipe into a gravel bed which is located
in the frost-free area.

The downpipe must flow into a sufficiently large gravel bed
so that the condensate can trickle away freely.
To prevent the condensate from freezing, the heating wire
must be threaded into the downpipe via the condensate dis-
charge tundish.
The downpipe must not be connected to an existing under-
ground drain pipe that is connected to the waste-water sys-
tem

Transporting the product
Warning.
Risk of injury from lifting a heavy weight.
Lifting weights that are too heavy may cause
injury to the spine, for example.
▶
Note the weight of the product.
▶
Have four people lift the product VWL 45/6
to VWL 85/6.
▶
Have six people lift the product
VWL 125/6 and VWL 155/6.
Caution.
Risk of material damage due to incorrect
transportation.
The product must never be tilted at an angle
of more than 45°. Otherwise, this may lead
to faults in the refrigerant circuit during sub-
sequent operation.
▶
During transport, do not tilt the product by
any more than the maximum angle of 45°.
1.
Take into consideration the weight distribution during
transport. The product is significantly heavier on the
right-hand side than on the left-hand side.
2.
Use the transport straps or a suitable hand truck.
3.
Protect the casing sections against damage.
4.
After transport, remove the transport straps.
