Chapter 3 Transport and Setting Up
3.1 Transport
The unit is heavy and has potential danger at transport. Also, to prevent
damage and breakage of the unit, be sure to follow these instructions for
transport.

Only person
s
who
have
sufficient knowledge and experience
about the unit and system are allowed to transport and set up the
unit.
 Especially pay attention to personal safety.

If a fork lift is used for transport, check the fork is inserted in place
as specified in Fig. 3-1 “Fork insertion position and hanging
method”. At that time, do not get the fork contact to the caster.
 If eyebolt is used for lifting, ensure all four eyebolts are used.
 Keep hanging angle from each eyebolt 45° to 60
o
with attention to
the postion of the center of gravity.
Never lay down the unit.
The compressor oil leaks out to the refrigerant piping and its amount
decreases, which might cause early compressor failure.

Drain the residual fluid from the piping as much as possible to
prevent any spillage.
 If a fork lift is used for transport, pay attention not to damage the
unit with the forks.
