3..RECEIVING.AND.HANDLING
3.1.Receiving
When received, the equipment should be thoroughly inspected for any
damage that may have occurred during transport.
The delivery note, manual and the spare part set are attached to the
equipment.
Check all parts against the packing list. For safe transport it is necessary that
some parts are not assembled when delivered. Handle fragile parts with care.
3.2.Storage
Should it be necessary to store the equipment for a longer period (several
days or more) certain precautions should be taken in order to prevent
unnecessary damage to the equipment:
Preferably, the equipment should be stored inside, in a room with
temperature above freezing.
For outdoor storage it is necessary to protect the filter from direct sunlight
as the heat and UV radiation may damage the filter panels.
Filters are delivered covered by plastic, within the wooden crate. If placed
outdoors, a special type of corrosion may develop, especially in coastal
areas. Humidity on the inside of the plastic forms the anode, and dry
exposed parts the cathode. Filters must therefore be unpacked after
delivery in these areas.
3.3.Lifting
When lifting the unopened crate a fork lift with fork extensions should be
used.
Unpacked filters with tank (type 1) may be lifted by a fork lift.
Do not use a crane or overhead gantry, and straps!
WARNING!
Before unloading, the working area should be fenced off according to
local regulations to prohibit access by unauthorised persons.
