5. TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
DANGER: always place the humidifi er on surfaces that are suitable to support its weight.
WARNING: transport operations must be carried out by trained personnel using certifi ed equipment in good con-
dition. Transport equipment and tools must be suitable for the weight and characteristics of the humidifi er.
WARNING: make sure that there are no unauthorised persons or things that could obstruct the lifting and trans-
port operations in the area where these are performed.
WARNING: any other method of handling or transport not described in this manual is considered unsuitable, dan-
gerous and therefore not approved by the manufacturer.
5.1 Transport
The humidifi er is shipped already assembled, packed and secured to pallets suitable for the weight of the humidifi er by special
straps. The places where the forklift forks can be inserted are marked by special tags. To guarantee correct handling, loading and
anchoring of the packages, the manufacturer checks all of the phases in the preparation of the packages and all of the materials
needed for transport before the humidifi er is loaded on the vehicle, and provides a delivery note (DDT) where the carrier can
express any reservations about the stability or suitability of the load for the vehicle in question. Nonetheless, the recipient must
scrupulously check the packages before they are unloaded from the delivery vehicle. Notify the carrier immediately, in writing, of
any damage that may be due to improper or negligent transport. Move the humidifi er to the site of installation before removing
it from the packaging, grasping the neck from underneath using suitable lifting equipment. Open the cardboard box, remove
the protective material and remove the unit, keeping it vertical at all times.
Notice:
the packaging material must not be dispersed in the environment; consequently, the diff erent types of material
must be separated and disposed of by local waste disposal services, in accordance with the regulations in force in the country
where the humidifi er is installed.
5.2 Handling
Handling operations must be carried out by qualifi ed personnel, with an assistant required for signalling.
The lifting and transport equipment must be of suitable capacity and chosen based on the dimensions, weight and shape of
the humidifi er (Tab. 4.a). The capacity of the lifting equipment and accessories must be greater (with a margin of safety) than
the weight of the loads being moved. Lifting movements must be continuous, without jerking or sudden movements. During
handling, nobody is allowed in the manoeuvring area; the entire surrounding area is considered a danger zone. The handling
operator is responsible for verifying the stability of the humidifi er before lifting and handling it.
