5.4. Packing
NOTE
Hazard for environment due to improper disposal!
Packing materials are valuable raw materials and can continue to be used in many cases or sensibly
reconditioned and recycled.
Dispose of packing materials environmentally.
Follow the locally valid waste disposal regulations. If necessary employ a special waste disposal
company to dispose of packing material.
The unit has been packed according to the anticipated transportation conditions (e.g. packed in
sealed plastic or cardboard box on a transport pallet). The packing has the function to protect the
unit against damage and corrosion until it is finally installed. The packing material should only be
removed just before the installation takes place.
COMET advises to keep the transport pallet (if provided) for later transportation of the unit.
Dispose packing material in accordance with environment protection requirements.
5.5. Manual handling

WARNING
Danger due to lifting and carrying heavy loads!
Manual handling of the loads (lifting, pushing, and carrying) has to be avoided.

Use only suitable means of transport (e.g. industrial truck, lift truck or sack
truck).
