against hard shocks and impacts.
Store the equipment only in closed rooms that
meet the following environmental conditions:

Transporting the equipment
CAUTION
Do not drop the equipment. If it falls down
it may cause bruises and injuries.
To transport and mount the equipment
safely use suitable lifting gear.
Connect the noose strap of the lifting
gear to the body.
Provide sufficient support for the
equipment during transport and
installation.
Wear protective safety footwear.
Lightweight equipment may be transported and
mounted without using any lifting gear.
To lift equipment the weight of which exceeds
approx. 25 kg, you need the help of a second
person or suitable lifting gear.
Your physical strength and on-site regulations and
conditions determine what weight can be lifted and
if support is required.
Meet the requirements for storage also when
transporting the equipment.
Prior to transport seal off connections with
sealing plugs.
If you do not have the sealing plugs
supplied with the equipment use
appropriate seal caps to seal off the
connections.
For short distances (only a few metres) you can
transport the equipment unpacked.
When transporting the equipment over larger
distances use the original packaging.
If you do not have the original packaging use a
box that protects the equipment adequately
against corrosion and physical damage.
