HANDLING AND STORAGE
DELIVERY AND STORAGE
To ensure consistent quality and maximum reliability, all
units are tested and inspected before leaving the fac to ry.
Standard units are shipped completely assembled and
con tain ing refrigerant under pressure. Units are shipped
with out export crating unless this has been specifi ed on
the Sales Order.
Units with remote evaporators will have the chiller and
remote evaporator charged with nitrogen.
If the unit is to be put into storage, prior to installation,
the following precautions should be observed:
• Unit must be “blocked” so that the base is not
per mit ted to sag or bow.
• Ensure that all openings, such as water con nec tions,
are securely capped.
• Do not store where exposed to ambient air tem per a-
tures exceeding 110°F (43°C).
• The condensers should be covered to protect the fi ns
from potential damage and corrosion, par tic u lar ly
where building work is in progress.
• The unit should be stored in a location where there
is minimal activity in order to limit the risk of ac-
ci den tal physical damage.
• To prevent inadvertent operation of the pressure
relief devices the unit must not be steam cleaned.
• It is recommended that the unit is periodically in-
spect ed during storage.
INSPECTION
Remove any transit packing and inspect the unit to en-
sure that all components have been delivered and that
no damage has occurred during transit. If any dam age
is evident, it should be noted on the carrier's freight bill
and a claim entered in accordance with the in struc tions
giv en on the advice note.
Major damage must be reported immediately to your
lo cal YORK representative.
MOVING THE CHILLER
Prior to moving the unit, ensure that the installation
site is suitable for installing the unit and is capable of
sup port ing the weight of the unit and all associated
ser vic es.
The units are designed to be lifted using ca bles. A
spread er bar or frame 88" (2250 mm) wide should be
used in order to prevent damage to the unit from the
lifting chains (See Figures 3 and 4).
Units are provided with lifting eyes extending from the
sides of the base frame which can be attached to di rect ly
using shackles or safety hooks (See Figure 4).
The unit must only be lift ed by the base frame at the
points provided. Nev er move the unit on roll ers, or
lift the unit using a forklift truck.
Care should be taken to avoid damaging the con dens er
cooling fi ns when moving the unit.
Lifting Weights
For details of weights and weight distribution refer to
the Technical Data Section.
