MAN-PTS-GB, Revision 9, BSC, 15-FEB-2017 18/46
4 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
The PTS system is delivered pre-assembled with the exception of a few components (PTS
chamber, vacuum pump, etc.).
Each component is wrapped in a sheet of protective plastic and packed into a box made of
wood or cardboard. Empty spaces between the components are filled with synthetic chips. A
protective layer of cellophane is wrapped around the entire box.
The box must be carefully handled with a forklift truck or a hydraulic lift. However, there are no
special tools required for handling the equipment.
4.1 INSPECTION AFTER TRANSPORT
Upon receipt of the goods, immediately check the equipment, mainly for completeness and
any damage incurred during transportation.
First check with help of the equipment list, which is included in the technical documentation,
that the supplied equipment is complete. A general drawing of all components of the system
can be also found in the technical documentation.
Missing or damaged parts must be immediately notified to Dec. Please document these defects
immediately by taking pictures and accurate records.
4.2 TRANSPORT AND LIFTING
Size the lifting equipment as indicated by the manufacturer by adding a security margin.
Danger from falling loads!
Do not stand under suspended loads!
Attention to your work colleagues!
Raise the machine or the equipment with a suitable hoist after fixing the slings or chains to
machine components that can withstand such loads.
4.3 STORAGE
The equipment must not be removed from the box if it is stored. If the equipment must be
inspected upon delivery, it has to be repackaged in its original box and the box must once again
be hermetically sealed.
The box must be stored in a closed place, which is cool, dry, well ventilated and does not contain
any chemical agents. In any event, the box should never be stored outside. Nothing may be
placed on top of the box and the box must be easily accessible, so that it won't get damaged
when being handled.
Store the equipment and the supplied material for the installation respecting to a minimum
spacing between each part, without side support or superposed material.
