Transport; Positioning - AKVATERM AKVA Standard Mode D'emploi

TRANSPORT

The accumulator tank should always be trans-
ported in an upright, well supported position. If the
accumulator tank is transported in a horizontal
position, you must take care not to damage the
outer surface. Damage can be prevented by cush-
ioning the transport platform with a sufficiently
strong mineral wool plate.
We recommend a hoist bracket or a forklift de-
signed for lifting and moving the accumulator tank.
Each accumulator tank is provided with a hoist
bracket, the bracket can be found on the top of the
accumulator tank packed in plastic.
NOTE: If the hoist bracket is used, take extra
care to screw it properly into the thread, all the
way to the bottom of the thread!

POSITIONING

You should follow any possible building plans
which relate to this location, when the accumulator
tank is positioned.
It is very important to note the overall mass of
the accumulator tank together with its contents, in
case the floor tiles need to be reinforced. You
should choose a location where connections and
maintenance are easily performed. The accumula-
tor tank can be positioned on the wall if required.
There must be enough room for connections on
the top of the accumulator tank.
If the accumulator tank is brought to the location
on its side, you must note the length of the diago-
nal (see figure) and the height of the installation
space when lifting the accumulator tank into an
upright position. The length of the diagonal is 10 -
15 % longer than the height, depending on the
accumulator tank diameter.
The height of the accumulator tank or the re-
quired installation space can be altered up to 10
cm by either shortening the accumulator tank's
legs or by making indents in the floor for the legs.
In this case you must take care to leave enough
space for the drain coupling!
