INFORMATION
Due to fluctuations in the production process, minor optical anomalies may be visible on the
vessel:
▪ Welding splatters
▪ Discoloration, due to welding deposits, for example
▪ Irregular edges at the rear side
▪ Corrections, e.g. manual welding seams
These optical anomalies do not affect the long service life, the tightness or the corrosion
protection of the switchgear.

8. Inform the forwarding agent about any defects or transport damages. If required, refuse to
accept the delivery.
9. Determine defects or transport damages and document them, e.g. on the freight
documents. Document major defects or transport damages photographically and prepare a
damage report.
10. To repair transport damages or defects, contact the Siemens Service Hotline.
11. Refit the packing at the best.
5.4 Unloading and transporting the switchgear
1. Attach ropes far away on the hoisting tackle. The ropes must not exert any force on the
panel walls under load.
2. Sling the ropes around the ends of the wooden pallets.
3. During transport to the place of installation or storage place, leave the panels on their
transport pallet for as long as possible.
4. Set down the transport units close to the place of installation or storage place.
5. Observe the installation order of the panels during transport to the switchgear room. Leave
space for moving and mounting.
6. Remove the packing close to the place of installation of the panels, and not before
beginning the installation process.
7. Observe the adhesive label with transport information provided on the switchgear.
▪ The angle between the crane chains at the lifting facility must be less than 90°.
▪ The distance between the transport eyes and the lifting facility must be at least half the
switchgear width.
