4 Transport and Mounting
4.1 Safety during Transport and Mounting
Danger of crushing if raised or suspended loads tip over, fall or sway
Vibrations or careless or hasty lifting and transportation may cause the product to tip over or fall. This can result in
death or serious injury.
• All national standards and provisions for transport must be respected.
• Always transport the product as close to the floor as possible.
• Use all suspension points for transportation.
• Avoid fast or jerky movements during transport.
• Always maintain a sufficient safety distance from the product during transport.
• All means of transport and auxiliary equipment used must be designed for the weight of the product. Weight:
1,900 kg.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
• Disassemble the kick plates when transporting the inverter with a forklift, pallet truck or crane fork. Thus, the
contact surface of the product on the forks is sufficiently extended (see Section 7.2.1, page 40).
Damage to the frame construction of the inverter due to uneven support surface
Placing the inverter on uneven surfaces can cause buckling so that the inverter doors will no longer close properly.
This may lead to moisture and dust penetration into the inverter.
• Never place the inverter on an unstable, uneven surface even for a short period of time.
• The unevenness of the support surface must be less than 0.25%.
• The support surface must be suitable to take the weight of the inverter. Weight: 1,900 kg.
• Do not transport the inverter with mounted kick plates.
4.2 Requirements for Transport and Mounting
4.2.1 Requirements and Ambient Conditions
☐ The requirements for the mounting location must be met (see Section 9.1.1, page 66).
