3. PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

HANDLING THE UNIT:

ATTENTION
Sharp edges, splinters and exposed fasteners can cause injuries.
Only properly trained and qualified technicians wearing appropriate
headgear, gloves and shoes, should move, lift, unpack, or prepare
the unit for installation.
WARNING
Risk of handling a unit heavier than 25kg (55lb): improper lifting
can cause injuries and equipment damage.
A lifting device or two properly trained & qualified persons are required
to lift or move the cooler.
When unpacking and handling the unit, exercise extra care to prevent
damage.
HYDAC recommends using a forklift or pallet jack to lift and move the
cooler while it is still in its packaging. If multiple units are delivered, they
can be shipped on the same pallet. A pallet jack will be required to move
these units to the installation location.
Do not move the pallet without lifting it, otherwise it may be damaged.
z If using a forklift or pallet jack, ensure that the fork length is suitable
to safely move the packaged unit.
z HYDAC recommends that the unit is kept in the protective packaging
until it has been moved to the installation site.
z Do not lift the unit any higher than 0.15m (6 in) while moving it. If it
must be lifted higher than 0.15m (6 in), exercise great care and keep all
persons who are not involved in moving the unit at least 5m (16 ft) away.
z Do not use devices other than those already described to handle
the cooler.
UNPACKING HYDAC COOLERS:
Do not unpack HYDAC coolers before moving them to their final
installation location.
Once at the location:
1 – Cut the plastic straps;
2 – Open the packing carton on the opening side;
3 – Remove all protective material from the package;
4 – A properly trained person can now lift the cooler from the package
and install it.
WARNING
For units heavier than 25kg (55lb) there is the risk of them falling
over, causing personal injury or property damage.
Do not leave a cooler standing unattended on its side or end without
adequate support to prevent it from falling over. The cooler must be
stabilized at all times or laid flat on protective material until it is installed.
