If the device is to be transported, moved or shifted, the transport lock must always be activated. To do this, remove the water tank. To activate the transport lock, press the lever down and turn it anti-clockwise to the vertical position. To start up the device, the transport lock must be released. To do this, turn the lever up clockwise to the horizontal position and press it in.
In general, the transport lock is used to make soilkind safe for transport. When the transport lock is activated, the sensitive load cell is relieved and secured so that it is not damaged during transport. The transport lock must be activated, especially when returning the product.
You may be charged for any damage caused during return shipping due to failure to take out transport insurance for your soilkind. For questions about activating transport insurance, see “How do I pack my soilkind composter?”
