4.0 HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
4.1 PACKAGING
The standard packaging, if supplied and unless otherwise agreed, is not proofed against rainfall
and is intended for shipping by ground and not sea, and for storage in areas which are under cov-
er and not humid. The material can be stored in suitable conditions for a period of two years under
cover at a temperature within the limits specied in the chapter “ALLOWED TEMPERATURE
LIMITS” and at a relative humidity not in excess of 80%. Storage in all other conditions requires
specic packaging.
The most frequent types of packaging are shown in the gures below.
- Packaging on pallet with heat shrink lm for ground shipping.
- Packaging in wooden crate for shipping by sea or air.
On receipt of the gear unit, make sure the delivery corresponds to the purchase order and
that it is not damaged or faulty in any way.
Report any nonconformity to your BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI reseller.
Dispose of packaging materials as stipulated by applicable legislation.
4.2 HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Handle packages as per the Manufacturer’s instructions and those marked on the packages
themselves. Since the weight and shape of the packages may make manual handling unfeasible,
special equipment must be used to avoid damage and injury. Persons authorised for this purpose
must be trained and experienced in the work in question to avoid risks to themselves and others.
The person authorised to handle the product must take all necessary precautions to safe-
guard his safety and that of all other persons involved.
