SHIPMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
Each sectionalizer is completely assembled, inspected,
tested, and adjusted at the factory and is filled to the cor-
rect level with insulating oil. It is in good condition when
accepted by the carrier for shipment. Upon receipt of a
sectionalizer:
1. Inspect the sectionalizer thoroughly for damage and
loss of parts or oil incurred during shipment. If dam-
age or loss is discovered, file a claim with the carrier
immediately.
2. Check for oil leakage and tighten all bolts that may
have been loosened during shipment, especially the
bolts attaching the head to the tank.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
General
If the sectionalizer is to be stored for an appreciable time
before installation, provide a clean, dry storage area.
Locate the sectionalizer so as to minimize the possibility of
mechanical damage. In particular, protect the bushings and
keep the operator cabinet closed to protect the electronic
control components.
