ECEIVING
When the ground and test device is received,
check for signs of damage. If damage is found
or suspected, file claims as soon as possible
with the transportation company and notify
the nearest Powell representative.
The estimated size and weight of the electrical
ground and test device, when it is crated and
placed on a pallet is:
Size: 42” wide x 42” deep x 47” high
Weight: 650 lbs.
The ground and test device is shipped
enclosed in a carton and strapped to a shipping
pallet. The carton, which contains the ground
and test device is attached to the pallet by two
metal bands. Remove the metal bands and lift
the carton to remove it from the ground and
test device. With the carton removed, there are
two more metal bands that attach the ground
and test device to the pallet. Remove the two
remaining bands and lift the ground and test
device off the pallet.

ANDLING
To avoid personal injury while handling the
ground and test device, personnel should not
stand under the raised ground and test device
nor place hands or feet under the ground and
test device frame as it is being lowered.
After the ground and test device has been
removed from its shipping pallet, the preferred
method for moving and handling a ground and
test device is to roll it on its own wheels on a
lever surface. When rolling the device, it should
be pushed and steered by the device frame or
by the handle on the front cover.
Do NOT handle or move the ground and test
device by the primary disconnecting devices,
as damage to the device may occur.
CAUTION CAUTION !
An overhead crane (Figure 4) can be used to
move the ground and test device. When using
an overhead crane to move the device use
a double hook crane and two lifting devices
(Figure 4, a & b). Place the crane hooks into the
hook hole ends. Then place the support end
of the lifting devices on to the ground and test
device (Figure 4, b). Ensure the crane hooks
and lifting devices are secure before lifting the
device.
