3.2 Guidelines for safe lifting and transportation
The front castors of chambers size 720 can be blocked by brakes. Please move the chambers with
castors only when empty and on an even surface, otherwise the castors may be damaged. After operation
please observe the guidelines for temporarily decommissioning the chamber (chap. 10.2).
CAUTION
Sliding or tilting the chamber.
Damage to the chamber.
Risk of injury by lifting heavy loads.
 Transport the chamber only in its original packaging.
 Secure the chamber with transport straps for transport.
∅ Do NOT lift or transport the chamber using the door handle or the door.
∅ Do NOT lift chambers size 400 and 720 by hand.
 Lift chambers size 53 and 115 at its four lower corners with the aid of 2 people,
chambers size 240 with the aid of 4 people, and place it on a transport pallet with
wheels. Push the pallet to the desired site and then lift the chamber from the pallet at
its four lower corners.
 Place chambers size 400 and 720 using technical devices (fork lifter) on the transport
pallet. Set the fork lifter only from the rear in the middle of the chamber. Make sure to
place all the lateral supports of the chamber on the forks.
 Transport chambers size 400 and 720 ONLY with the original transport pallet. Set the
fork lifter only to the pallet. Without the pallet the chamber is in imminent danger of
overturning.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C up to +60 °C / 14 °F up to 140 °F.
You can order transport packing and pallets for transportation purposes from BINDER Service.
3.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the chamber is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for
temporary decommissioning (chap. 10.2).
• Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C up to +60 °C / 14 °F up to 140 °F.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the chamber to its warmer installation site,
condensation may form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient
temperature and is completely dry.
