Current-Limiting Reactors and optional Side Cars are shipped bolted to shipping pallets and protected by two
layers of external plastic covering. Units are first covered by a large plastic bag and then shrink-wrapped. Finally
each unit is secured to its pallet with metal retaining bands.
For moving the Current-Limiting Reactor or Side Car on its pallet, Eaton recommends that you leave the
retaining bands intact until you have moved the unit to a convenient location for removing it from its pallet.
Inspect the shipped unit twice, upon receipt and after removing packaging materials.
1. Upon receiving an Current-Limiting Reactor or Side Car pallet and before removing packaging, inspect the
packaging for visible damage. If damage is evident notify the shipping company and Eaton (see below for
Eaton contact information).
2. Carefully cut the retaining bands, making sure that they do not scrape the exterior of the unit or scratch the
paint.
• Metal retaining bands are under tension. Exercise caution when cutting them.
• Wear protective clothing including eye, face, and hand protection when cutting retaining bands.
3. Carefully remove the outer layer of protective shrink wrap from the unit and the interior plastic covering
bag. Use care to not puncture or scratch the Current-Limiting Reactor with cutting tools.
4. After removing the outer external packaging, inspect the unit’s exterior panels and doors for any visible
damage such as scratches, dents, or cracks. If you discover any damage, notify the shipping company and
Eaton service.

Move the Current-Limiting Reactor off its pallet with a forklift as follows:
1. The Current-Limiting Reactor or its Side Car is bolted to a pallet. With the pallet resting on the floor,
remove the bolts.
2. Insert forklift forks under the Current-Limiting Reactor Cabinet or optional Side Car from any side.
3. Move each unit to its installation location and withdraw the forklift. Units have no casters and should be
precisely positioned with the forklift.
