If the unit is not installed immediately, it should be stored in a suit-
able location, protected from the elements, especially in saline
atmospheres and from rodents. The unit must be stored with all
the transport protection with which it was supplied and with the
wooden base -C- tted.

CAUTION
National and local legislation must be observed with respect to
driving and the handling of loads with fork-lift trucks.
The only places in which the forks of the fork-lift truck can be in-
serted are through the openings -A- of the unit base.
Do not apply excessive force to these openings, with either the
forks or other tools. This could damage the base of the unit.
Do not move the unit by pushing it on side -B- of the base with the
forks of the fork-lift truck or by applying force on zone -C-.
Do not use wheelbarrows to move the unit.
6.3 LIFTING METHOD
Do not remove any of the protective packaging from the unit to
protect it during handling and lifting.
The unit should only be lifted from the base.
Fit the hoisting slings -A- through the openings -B- on the base
of the unit.

DANGER
• Always use textile slings in good condition, without
cuts or wear, and with the correct capacity for lifting the
outdoor unit.
• Do not t the slings on the wooden base -C- of the unit.
The wooden base is only designed to protect the base
of the unit during transportation; it will not withstand the
strain of lifting the unit.
• Do not use metal cables to lift the unit. Metal cables may
slip on the wooden base supporting the unit and could
cause the unit to tilt or fall during the lifting operation.
