HP POD 40c G2 lifting requirements

WARNING: The only approved method for lifting the HP POD 40c G2 is the use of a spreader bar harness. Lifting an HP POD 40c G2 in any other manner can cause damage to the HP POD 40c G2 and void your warranty.

HP POD 40c G2 storage requirements

If the site is not ready for assembly and operation, determine a location for storage when creating the site plan.

CAUTION: The HP POD 40c G2 must maintain 20% relative humidity to minimize condensation and oxidation within the HP POD 40c G2.

CAUTION: While being stored, the HP POD 40c G2 must be kept in a level position even if stored on a trailer.

Changes in ambient temperatures can cause condensation in a non-operational HP POD 40c G2. If the HP POD 40c G2 is placed in storage or is in non-operating mode for over 72 hours, HP recommends using one of the following methods to minimize condensation and oxidation within the HP POD 40c G2:

•Desiccant unit

•Desiccant material

•Heater with a fan

•Air conditioner with a heater strip

Consult with HP Services to determine the most effective method.

Additional structures

If a customer-provided vestibule or other structure is installed and connected to the HP POD 40c G2, the following specifications must be maintained:

•To protect the HP POD 40c G2 and ensure a waterproof barrier, flashing must be installed to the exterior of the HP POD 40c G2 in the location where the other structure is attached.
