Storage and Shipment
Cover the load before storing to keep out dust and dirt. It is not necessary to install the shipping plug. Store in a dry,
dust-free environment where the ambient temperature will remain between
–40 and +45 °C (–40 to +113 °F).
To ship the load, take the following precautions:
1. Remove the vent plug and replace it with the shipping plug.
2. Wrap the vent plug with padding.
3. Tape it to the side of the load for protection.
Note: With the shipping plug installed, it is not necessary to empty out the
coolant.
4. Wrap the connector in padding.
5. Pack and brace the load in a sturdy wooden crate for shipment.
