# Transport Case

The Transport Case allows for rapid deployment in locations independent of a vehicle or apparatus. The Transport Case is equipped with deployable handles to allow for ease of transport.

* To meet National Electric Code and OSHA requirements use a cord set that contains GFCI protection identified for portable use and with a female US (Nema 5-15) Connector. 
* It is designed to handle light transportation shock and protects the unit from damage in standard use.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If connecting to an inverter or generator, always ensure you are connecting to a power source rated for 900W continuous output.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Transport Case is designed for static deployment. Do not attempt to operate your Fotokite on a moving vehicle or boat.

## Transport Case Operation

To safely open the case:

* Ensure first that the handles are facing **downward** and the unit is located on a fixed and level surface.
* Undo the eight clips connecting the case lid.
* Pull the case lid directly upwards, making sure not to tilt or angle the case lid before clearing the unit.
* Place the case lid to the side with the foam facing upwards. If it is raining, place the case lid inside the vehicle or a protected storage area.

Always keep the case lid aligned with the bottom half and propellers folded towards the center when opening or closing the unit.&#x20;

Closing the case:&#x20;

* Fold all propellers towards the center of the case.&#x20;
* Align the case lid, making sure not to tilt or angle the case lid.
* Apply pressure to compress the dampening foam while reattaching the case clips to the lid.&#x20;
  * The case lid is reversible and can be attached in either direction.
* Plug the AC Outlet and stow with handles facing downward.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is not recommended to store the Transport Case outside for extended intervals. Always store the system either indoors or inside of a vehicle / enclosure.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Never transport the Transport Case without first fully closing the case lid and locking it in place. Always keep the Transport Case level when opened.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.fotokite.com/system-profile/transport-case.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
