Transport
Units of the EcoTouch Ai1 Air series are delivered ready-to-connect with
separate metal cladding. For easy transport the heat pump will be supplied
in three packaging: hot water tank, heat pump unit and housing.
Since the unit weighs 120 kg or more, at least two people are required for
transport.
The devices are mounted above each other at the installation site. During
transport it must be ensured that appropriate means of transport are used
(lift truck, transport rollers, handcart).
Heat pump (outdoor unit) must be transported upright!
Transport in tilted position (45°) is permitted only temporarily during inser-
tion. Horizontal transport results in oil displacement in compressor and can
cause damage during start-up.
After carton is removed or opened it is not permitted to tilt the unit by ap-
plying pressure to the pipelines or housing enclosure; this could result in
bent housing parts and pipelines.
