When the ground and test device is received
check for any sign of damage. If damage is
found or suspected, file all claims immediately
with the transportation company and notify
the nearest Powell representative.
The ground and test device is enclosed in
a carton used for shipment. The carton
is attached to the shipping pallet by two
metal bands. Remove the bands and lift the
carton from the pallet so that the ground and
test device is visible. Remove all shipping
hardware, members, or brackets that attaches
the device to the pallet. When these are
removed the ground and test device may
be removed from the shipping pallet. Refer

After the ground and test device has been
removed from its shipping pallet it may be
rolled on its own wheels on a level surface. This
is the preferred way of handling the ground
and test device. When rolling the ground and
test device it should be pushed and steered by
the steel frame or the front cover.
Do not handle or move the ground and test
device by the primary disconnecting devices,
as damage may occur.
CAUTION
If necessary, the ground and test device can
be moved by a fork lift truck or an overhead
crane. When using a fork lift truck take care to
avoid components located under the ground
and test device floor pan. The device can also
be lifted by an overhead crane using the four
lifting points which have been provided for
hooks at the bottom of the ground and test
device mechanism housing (Figure 4).

Shipping and storage of electrical equipment
requires measures to prevent the deterioration
of the apparatus over a long unused period.
The mechanical and dielectric integrity must
be protected. Electrical equipment is designed
for use in a variety of environments. When
the equipment is in transit and storage, these
design considerations are not fully functional.
In general, the following measures must be
considered.
