3 TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
Vortice S.p.A. goal is to attain maximum respect for the environment. To this end, and to facilitate the
greatest efficiency possible for the end client, it avoids the use of unnecessary or excessive packag-
ing as much as possible, in order to minimise the environmental impact. Unless the purchaser has
specific needs or specific requests that are assessed in each case, the product is supplied on a tim-
ber pallet inside a cardboard box, where necessary, otherwise it is simply placed in the pallet (e.g.
aluminium blades), with parts covered in protective plastic.
The packs must not be stacked.
Avoid damaging the machine's components by being very careful with opening the packaging.
Once delivered to the purchaser, they must immediately check that the product is correct and
conforms.
Checking of the integrity of the ceiling fan and the completeness of the package within not more than
48 hours of delivery, is specifically assigned to the user to whom the product is delivered.
No part of the product must be damaged or cracked, or have any other visible defects due to
transportation.
All the components must be in the package.
There must be no signs of chemical attack, damp, stains or anything else.
The CE Mark and pictograms must be included, especially:
•
The motor's identity label, which also indicates its characteristics.
Do not dispose of packaging in the environment. It must be deposited at specific collection points
and stored in accordance with the specific environmental disciplines, by the user.
3.1 Handling
The Ceiling Fan is relatively heavy (see weights table) and bulky, and so it must be lifted and handled after hav-
ing checked that the necessary, suitable equipment is available. They must have personal protection equipment
required for the task and called for by applicable local norms. Also, given the weight of the machinery, if suitable
lifting devices are not available, the machine and its components must always be handled by at least two peo-
ple.
In particular:
-
For unpacking the product, use at least:
•
GLOVES that are suitably resistant to cuts, perforation and crushing
•
Overalls or approved clothing, type approved in terms of applicable norms
•
Safety footwear
-
Operators engaged in unpacking the ceiling fan must be adequately trained and informed by the user of
the elements and the dangers they pose.
3.2 Operative instructions
I) Transport the pack that contains the product using adequate equipment, handled / operated by
qualified personnel, to the vicinity of the assembly and/or installation site.
II) Follow all the instructions given in detail. If a passage cannot be understood, or even if there is
some doubt concerning it, immediately interrupt operations, make the machine and the parts in-
volved completely safe, and ask for clarification.
III) Once all UNPACKING operations have been completed, proceed to install in the manner specifi-
cally indicated.
The CEILING FAN can be lifted and suspended using the base of the machine as a support. Only lashing and
securing methods may be used that ensure the machine's stability and prevent a risk of it falling during the op-
eration. The area underneath must be cordoned off and kept free of people or objects, until after the fan has
been started for the first time.
