Delivery and Storage
2.1 Receiving Inspection
• Inspect for missing components.
• Check against the shipping/packing documents.
• Inspect each package or pallet for integrity.
• Record receipt date and inspection data results, and notify your servicing dealer of any damage. Take photographs if
necessary.
2.2 Storage
• Store in a dry, clean, ventilated and cool location.
• Winter storage in sub-freezing temperatures as low as -35 °C / -31°F possible as long as they are fully charged prior to
storage.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight as damage to the container and cover may occur.
• Do not stack pallets on top of each other and on sharp-edged supports.
• Storage on a pallet and wrapped in plastic material (shrink wrap) is permitted except when room temperature fluctuates
significantly, or when high relative humidity can cause condensation under the plastic. Condensation can cause a whitish
hydration on the terminals to form and result in current leakage and self-discharge.
• Protect against any risk of electric shock from short- circuiting poles/terminals with conductive objects or from the buildup
of conductive dust.
