Storage and transport
3.1 General
The domestic hot water heat pump should always be stored and
transported packaged in an upright position, without being filled
with water. If handled carefully, the device can be transported
over short distances with a maximum tilt angle of 45°. Ambient
temperatures between -20 and +60 °C are permissible during
transport and storage.
3.2 Fork lift (or lift truck) transport
The domestic hot water heat pump must remain mounted on the
pallet when being transported with a fork lift. The pump should be
lifted slowly. Because of its high centre of mass, the domestic hot
water heat pump must be secured against toppling. To prevent
damage, the domestic hot water heat pump must be lowered
onto a level surface.
3.3 Manual transport (factory
default)
The wooden pallet can be used underneath the device for the
purpose of manual transportation. A second or third carrying po-
sition can be created with the help of ropes or carrying slings
(these may be wrapped around the cylinder casing and attached
to the water pipe nipples). When transporting the heat pump in
this manner (or with a hand truck), do not, under any circum-
stances, exceed the max. tilt angle of 45° (see illustration).
ATTENTION!
The device cover cannot be used for carrying (the cover cannot withstand
significant forces).

3.4 Transport in carrier (accessory
with locking plate)
The carrying bag accessory can be used to transport the heat
pump horizontally within the building. For this, the cover must be
removed and the guard plate supplied with the carrying bag must
be mounted. The guard plate is fixed in place between the trans-
port lug of the compressor and the dividing wall using the mount-
ing material provided.
ATTENTION!
Once the heat pump has been set up, the guard plate must be removed!
It is important to ensure that the device is not transported over-
head during the entire transport process.
ATTENTION!
The heat pump must not be transported overhead.
