Transportation
•The enclosures are shipped packed upright on the pallet.
•If the packaging is damaged, then the freight carrier must be notified of this in writing on the
delivery slip –a “simple acknowledgement” provided to the delivering freight company will
exclude recognition of damage in transit.
The same applies if any packages are missing according to the delivery slip.
•The pallet must always be picked up from the narrow side with forks inserted fully to the end of
the pallet.
•Only open the pallet at the installation site, in order to prevent damage during transportation to
the installation site.
•Do not use pointed or sharp objects such as knives when opening the pallet, as they may
damage the enclosure. Please use caution!
