TRANSPORT, LIFTING
AND POSITIONING
Refrigerators are supplied assembled. The equip-
ment are full of refrigerant and oil, in the quantity re-
quired for a proper operation.
3.1 Inspection
When the unit is delivered, it is recommended to
check it carefully and to identify any damage oc-
curred during transportation. The goods are shipped
ex-factory, at the buyer's risk. Check that the delivery
includes all the components listed in the order.
In case of damage, note it down on the carrier's de-
livery note and issue a claim according to the instruc-
tions provided in the delivery note.
In the presence of any serious damage, that does not
affect the surface only, it is recommended to inform
Itelco-Clima immediately.
Please note that Itelco-Clima may not be held liable
for any damage to the equipment during transporta-
tion, even though the carrier has been appointed by
the factory.
3.2 Unit Handling
Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a poten-
tial hazard. Avoid contact with them.
Be careful to avoid rough handling of the unit. Do
not push or pull the unit anything other than the
base. Block the pushing vehicle away from the unit
to prevent damage to the sheet metal cabinet and
end frame (see picture 1).
Blocking required across
(full width)

3.3 Anchoring
It is not essential to secure the unit to the foundations,
unless in areas where there is a serious risk of earth-
quake, or if the appliance is installed on the top of a
steel frame.
3.4 Storage
When the unit is to be stored before installation,
adopt a few precautions to prevent any damage or
risk of corrosion or wear:
plug or seal every single opening, such as water
h
fittings
do not store the appliance in a room where the
h
temperature exceeds 50°C for the units using
R407C and, if possible, do not expose to direct
sunlight
it is recommended to store the unit in a roof where
h
traffic is minimized, to prevent the risk of acciden-
tal damage
the unit must not be washed with a steam jet
h
take away and leave to the site manager all the
h
keys providing access to the control board
Finally, it is recommended to carry out visual inspec-
tions at regular intervals.
