Transport and handling
4.1
Delivery
The cooling unit is supplied in one packaging unit.
Check the packaging carefully for signs of damage.
Traces of oil on damaged packaging indicate a loss of
refrigerant and/or a leak in the cooling unit. Any pack-
aging damage may be the cause of a subsequent
functional failure.
4.2
Unpacking
Remove the packaging materials from the cooling unit.
Check the cooling unit for any damage that may have
occurred during transport.
Check the supply contents for completeness (see sec-
tion 3.3 "Supply includes").
4.3
Transport
Cooling unit types SK 317880x/SK 317980x weigh up
to 13 kg. Cooling unit types SK 31848x0 weigh up to
27 kg.
An M12 thread is provided on top of the cover on unit
types SK 31848x0 for screw-fastening a Rittal eyebolt
(e.g. belonging to an enclosure). The cooling unit is read-
ily transported with the aid of lifting gear and an indoor
crane.

Before transporting by crane, please ensure that the
lifting gear and crane have sufficient load capacity to
transport the cooling unit safely.
Never allow anyone to stand beneath a suspended
load, even for a short time, during transportation by
crane.
Protect the lifting gear on the crane hook from load de-
flection, because the load's centre of gravity may be
off-centre.
First position the cooling unit close to the installation
site and protect from accidentally being knocked over.
Transport of a fitted cooling unit
Shipping braces (such as a structure made from
square timbers or boards) must be used when trans-
porting cooling units already mounted on the enclo-
sure – fig. 5 and fig. 6).
These braces support the cooling unit and prevent it
from slipping in case of impact.
To prevent paint abrasion, please place bubble wrap
or similar between the square timbers and the cooling
unit.
Use a sufficiently large pallet to prevent it tipping over.
If the cooling unit has been mounted on a door, close
the door and keep it closed during transportation.
Note:
After unpacking, the packaging materials
must be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly way.
Note:
Damage and other faults, e.g. incomplete de-
livery, should be reported immediately, in
writing, to the shipping company and to
Rittal GmbH & Co. KG.
Caution!
Please note the maximum weights that
may be lifted by individuals. It may be
necessary to use lifting gear.
Note:
An eyebolt with M12 thread may be ordered
as an accessory from Rittal (see section 13
"Accessories").
