Transporting the module
The module is shipped from the factory in a wood box with the corresponding
securing devices. Pack the assembly for further transport in this wood box.
Alternatively, place the assembly on a pallet of sufficient size using a forklift.
Brace the assembly so that the steering rollers are not loaded and secure the
module against tipping.
When receiving and unpacking the unit, check it for damage in transit. Report
any damage to the respective forwarding agent immediately.
The module can be moved by pushing it on its mounted casters. You can
also use hoisting equipment (e.g. a fork lift truck) to transport the module,
provided its load-carrying capacity is greater than the weight of the empty
module.
To transport the module, all test liquid reservoirs and filter holders must be
drained.
Storing the module
Disconnect the connection cable and hoses from the connected modules.
Drain the unit completely.
Store the completely emptied module in a clean, dry room with the following
conditions:
Permitted storage
temperature range:
See chapter "Technical Data", page 40.
Humidity:
max. 80 % (non-condensing)
Air:
dust-free, not salty air, not in the vicinity of
oxidizing substances (flash rust, rust bloom)
