4 Transport and Mounting
4.1 Safety during Transport and Mounting
Danger of crushing if raised or suspended loads tip over, fall or sway
Vibrations or careless or hasty lifting and transportation may cause loads to tip over or fall. This can result in death or
serious injury.
• Follow all national transportation standards and regulations.
• Never allow anyone to walk or stand under a suspended load at any time.
• Always transport the load as close to the ground as possible.
• Use all suspension points for transportation.
• Use the tie-down and crane points provided for transportation.
• Avoid fast or jerky movements during transport.
• Always maintain an adequate safety distance during transport.
• All means of transport and auxiliary equipment used must be designed for the weight of the load.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
Danger to life due to choking on packaging material
Careless handling of packaging material can lead to death by suffocation.
• Remove packaging material carefully from the product.
Damage to the frame construction due to uneven support surface
If the product is set down on uneven surfaces, components may distort. This may lead to moisture and dust
penetration into the components.
• Never place the product on an unstable, uneven surface; not even for a short period of time.
• The unevenness of the support surface must be less than 0.25%.
• The support surface must be suitable for the weight of the product.
• Prior to storage, ensure that the doors of the product are tightly closed.
Danger of crushing and collision when carelessly working on the product
Carelessly working on the product could result in crushing injuries or collisions with edges.
• Wear personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
Clean the closed station container of the MVPowerStation with clear water after maritime transport.
High humidity and salt water can cause corrosion of the station container during maritime transport. It is
recommended to clean the station container with clear water prior to installation. This will inhibit the corrosion
process. Coat the affected areas in order to prevent further corrosion.
