Installation Instructions
Unpacking and Inspection
•
The unit should be inspected upon delivery for
possible external damage incurred during transport.
If damage is evident, it should be noted on the freight
docket and contact is to be made with the Armcor
Air Solutions sales office. A claim should be lodged
with the shipping company within 3 days if goods are
damaged or incomplete. No claims will be recognised
after this date.
• IF MAJOR DAMAGE IS APPARENT, DO NOT LIFT UNIT
ON TO SITE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM
ARMCOR.
•
The unit was tested and inspected prior to packing
and was in perfect condition at the time of despatch.
•
Check unit rating plate to ensure the correct unit
matches the job specifications.
Unit Handling
•
Protective crating or packaging and the pallets
should not be removed until the unit is at the point of
installation.
•
When removing packaging or crating, be careful not
to damage, scratch or dent the unit.
•
After removal of packaging, all removable access
panels should be opened to inspect for unit internal
damage.
Lifting with a Crane
• SAFETY
– when installing or working on equipment,
always adhere to safety codes and guidelines.
Wear safety goggles, work gloves, work boots and
protective clothing.
•
All external units are provided with substantial lifting
lugs on each corner at the base frame.
NOTE
– All
units should be lifted into position using
SLINGS
and
NOT
CHAINS
. (Chains may damage exterior finish on
the fan unit).
•
Where units have to be craned into position,
installers must check that the unit weight is within
the safe tolerance of the working capacity of the
crane.
•
Prepare for lifting with spreaders as you would do
with lifting air conditioning equipment.
•
When lifting equipment never stand under the load.
•
Beware of lifting equipment onto roof areas in windy
conditions. Only lift when weather conditions are
favourable.
Lifting with a Forklift
•
Exercise extreme caution when lifting with a forklift.
Do not exceed the height limit of the forklift and
never allow the forklift forks to make contact directly
with the bottom panel of the unit.
•
Make careful consideration of the unit’s centre
of gravity and distribute the weight equally
on both forks. Test load to see if the weight is
equally distributed. Do this by lifting the unit a
few centimetres off the ground level and checking
stability before lifting any further or before
transporting the unit.
