6.1 Delivery and transport
Delivery
Check the Chip Extraction Unit for visible transport da-
mage upon delivery. In case of visible damage to the
Chip Extraction Unit, immediately notify the carrier or
your retailer.
Transport
Improper transport of individual devices, unsecured de-
vices stacked on top of each other or next to each other
in packed or already unpacked condition is accident-
prone and can cause damage or malfunctions for which
we do not grant any liability or guarantee.
Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting
or tilting with a sufficiently dimensioned industrial truck to
the installation site.
General risks during internal transport
Devices may only be transported by authorized and qua-
lified persons. Act responsibly during transport and al-
ways consider the consequences. Refrain from daring
and risky actions.
Gradients and descents (e.g. driveways, ramps and the
like) are particularly dangerous. If such passages are
unavoidable, special caution is required.
Before starting the transport check the transport route for
possible danger points, unevenness and disturbances
as well as for sufficient strength and load capacity.
Danger points, unevenness and disturbance points must
be inspected before transport. The removal of danger
spots, disturbances and unevenness at the time of trans-
port by other employees leads to considerable dangers.
Careful planning of internal transport is therefore essen-
tial.
6.2 Packaging
All of the Chip Extraction Unit‘s packaging materials and
packing aids are suitable for recycling and must always
be disposed of using material-based recycling systems.
Packaging materials made of cardboard must be shred-
ded and recycled as waste paper.

made of polystyrene (PS). Dispose of these substances
at a recycling centre or hand them over to a qualified wa-
ste disposal company.
6.3 Storage
The chip extraction unit must be thoroughly cleaned and
stored in a dry, clean and frost-free environment. Cover
the machine with a tarpaulin.
6.4 Installation and connection
6.5 Requirements to the installation
location
