02Receiving and storage

Transport and handling

• Keep the stack in its original packaging for transport whenever you can.
• Follow every handling symbol on the packaging.
• Never lift or support it by the ports, the protective caps and plugs, the fittings, or the electrical terminals and cables.
• Do not drop it or subject it to severe impact. Keep it out of rain, standing water and high humidity.

If it waits before installation

• Store it as marked on the packaging, and keep it in its original packaging while stored.
• Leave every port cap and plug fitted.
• Keep it indoors, dry and out of direct sunlight, and avoid condensing conditions.
• Avoid excessive vibration, dust and corrosive gases. Do not stack other loads on the package.

Unpacking and inspection

1. Inspect the outer packaging first.
   • Note any visible damage, deformation or signs of impact on the delivery documents and photograph it, for a claim against the carrier.
2. Open the packaging, take the stack out with lifting equipment, and set it on a flat, solid surface.
   • Keep the blade shallow when opening the packaging. Port threads and protective caps are easily damaged.
3. Inspect the stack visually.
   • Check the end plates and the cell stack for dents, cracks and deformation.
   • Check the electrolyte inlet, the oxygen and electrolyte outlet, the hydrogen outlet and their caps and plugs for damage, and that they are secure.
   • Look for signs of leakage or residue around the ports and fittings and along the cell edges.
   • Check the DC terminals for bending or damage.
   • Verify the model and serial number on the product label. You will need them if you contact us later.
