5.0 Transport, packaging and
storage
5.1 Safety information for
the transport
CAUTION
Significant actuator damage can occur if not properly transported,
unpacked and stored.
Therefore:
• Proceed carefully during the unloading of the packaged items,
during the delivery as well as during the transport to its final des-
tination and comply with the symbols and information shown on
the packaging.
• Only remove the actuator from its packaging right before installation.
• Note storage requirements for return transport to the manufac-
turer (⮑ 5.2 Storage.
5.1.1 Transport inspection
The CAHB-2x linear actuator is delivered as one packaged
unit in a box or on pallets.
Check the delivery for completeness and damage due to trans-
port immediately upon receipt. Send back actuator to manufac-
turer if it has cracks in the casing caused during transportation.
Check completeness of delivery:
• A complete actuator unit. If damage to the exterior of the
actuator has occurred during transport, do the following:
-
Do not accept delivery or do so only with reservations.
-
Record scope of damage on the transport documents or
on the bill of delivery of the shipping company.
-
Initiate complaint
NOTE
Report any damage as soon as it has been identified. Damage
claims can only be asserted within the transporter’s applicable
complaint period.
5.1.2 Return to the manufacturer
Proceed as follows for the return transport:
1. Dismantle the actuator if necessary (⮑ 10.0 Disman-
tling, page 36).
2. Pack the actuator in its original packaging. Follow stor-
age conditions (
⮑
5.2 Storage).
3. Send to manufacturer.
5.1.3 Packaging
For packaging
The individual packaged pieces have been packaged appro-
priately according to the expected transport conditions.
The packaging is supposed to protect the individual compo-
nents from damage caused by the transport, corrosion and
other damage until they are ready for installation. Therefore,
do not destroy the packaging and only remove the actuator
shortly prior to the installation. Keep packaging for possible
return shipment to the manufacturer.
If the packaging is to be disposed off, please adhere to the
following:
NOTE
Packaging material consists of valuable raw materials, which, in
many cases, can be recycled.
Therefore:
• Dispose of packaging material in an environmentally correct way.
• Comply with locally applicable disposal regulations.
5.2 Storage
Pack the actuator in its original packaging for storage.
• Do not store outside.
• Dry and dust-free storage.
• Keep away from any aggressive media.
• Protect from UV radiation.
• Avoid mechanical vibrations.
• Storage temperature: –55 to 90 °C.
• Relative atmospheric humidity: max. 95% (no build up of
condensation).
• For storage for longer than three months, check the gen-
eral condition of all parts of the packaging on a regular ba-
sis. If necessary, refresh or renew the conservation.
NOTE
It is possible that there are notices on the packaging concerning
additional storage requirements. If so, follow all requirements.
