EATON CORPORATION www.eaton.com
SECTION 3: RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND
STORAGE
Type VCP-W VSR-series breaker to vacuum starter replacement units
are subjected to complete factory production tests and inspection
before being packed. They are shipped in packages designed to
provide maximum protection to the equipment during shipment
and storage and at the same time to provide convenient handling.
Accessories such as the cell code plate, etc. are shipped with the
unit (Figure 3.1).
3.1 RECEIVING
Until the unit is ready to be delivered to the switchgear site for
installation, DO NOT remove it from the shipping crate. If the unit
is to be placed in storage, maximum protection can be obtained by
keeping it in its crate.
Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the crates for any signs of
damage or rough handling. Open the crates carefully to avoid any
damage to the contents. Use a nail puller rather than a crow bar
when required.
When opening the crates, be careful that any loose items or
hardware are not discarded with the packing material. Check the
contents of each package against the packing list.
Examine the unit for any signs of shipping damage such as broken,
missing or loose hardware, damaged or deformed insulation and
other components. File claims immediately with the carrier if
damaged or loss is detected and notify the nearest Eaton’s Electrical
Services & Systems office.

3.2 HANDLING
WARNING
DO NOT USE ANY LIFTING DEVICE AS A PLATFORM FOR PERFORMING
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR ADJUSTMENT OF THE UNIT OR FOR OPENING,
CLOSING THE CONTACTS OR CHARGING THE SPRINGS. THE UNIT MAY
SLIP OR FALL CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS PERFORM
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND ADJUSTMENTS ON A WORKBENCH
CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE UNIT.
VCPW-VSR unit shipping containers are designed to be handled
either by use of a rope sling and overhead lifting device or by a
fork lift truck. If containers must be skidded for any distance, it is
preferable to use roller conveyors or individual pipe rollers.
Once the unit has been inspected for shipping damage, it is best to
return it to its original shipping crate until it is ready to be installed in
the Metal-Clad Switchgear.
When the unit is ready for installation, a lifting harness in conjunction
with an overhead lift or portable floor lift can be used to move the
unit, if this is preferable to rolling the unit on the floor using self
contained wheels. If the unit is to be lifted, position the lifting device
(lifting straps should have at least a 1600 pound capacity) over the
unit and insert the lifting harness hooks into the unit side openings
and secure. Be sure the hooks are firmly attached before lifting
the unit. Stand a safe distance away from the unit while lifting and
moving.
