Pre-installation: receiving,
handling, and storage
Receiving
Upon delivery, use the packing list to confirm the number of items
against what was received to ensure that the shipment is complete .
Any discrepancies should be noted on the freight bill before signing .
Report any shortages or damage to the freight carrier immediately .
Immediately upon receipt of the switchboard, the plastic covering
should be carefully removed and a thorough inspection of each
section should be made to detect any damage incurred during
shipment . Any damage should be noted on the bill of lading (freight
bill) and the consignee receiving the equipment should notify
the freight carrier .
FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE FREIGHT CARRIER
OF DAMAGE IN A TIMELY MANNER MAY RESULT IN THE
CONSIGNEE ASSUMING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIR
OR REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED EQUIPMENT.
After inspection, it is recommended that a plastic covering be used
to protect the equipment from dust, dirt, moisture and damage until
ready for installation .
The switchboard should remain attached to its shipping skid until it
has been moved into its final installation position .
Handling
WARNING
SWITCHBOARD IS TOP HEAVY. USE CARE IN HANDLING.
Switchboards are top heavy . Switchboard sections may weigh over
2000 pounds . Before moving or lifting, verify that the equipment
used to handle the switchboard is within safe limits of its lifting
capacity .
Switchboard shipping lengths will vary . Each shipping section is
bolted with lag bolts to heavy wooden skids that extend beyond all
sides of the switchboard .
DO NOT pass cables or chains through the holes in the lifting
means . Utilize cables or chain with hooks or shackles rated for the
load and weight of the switchboard shipping length to be lifted .
Prepare a sling and a spanner or spreader . (See
Figure 4
and
5
.)
Eaton does not provide chain, cables, shackles, hooks, spanner
or spreader . Lifting bars on long lineups may require additional
spreaders to reduce any horizontal compressive force .
Utilizing lifting means
Top Lifting means are bolted to each main switchboard shipping
length(See figure 1) . It includes a grade 5, 3/8”-16 hex bolt 1-1/2”
lg, two washers, Hex nut, internal support for each side and three
lifting eyes for each corner . See Figure 2 . Torque rating for the bolt is
26 ft-lbs . Lifting angle minimum 45degree . If 45degree angle can’t
be achieved use normal derating factor based on reduced lift angle .
