Handling Instructions:
1.
Cabinets should always be stored in an upright position. Failure to observe this precaution can cause serious damage and
cancellation of warranty.
2.
Cabinets should be forklifted only at appropriate lifting points. Make sure that forks are long enough to go entirely under the unit
and protrude from the other side. Be careful not to puncture another unit beyond the one being lifted.
3.
Chains, cables, ropes or other retaining devices should not be wrapped around a cabinet. The weight of the system is great
enough to cause collapse of the cabinet when lifted by these means.
4.
Padding must be used when transporting the system so as to help prevent damage to the cabinets.
Inspection and Unpacking Instructions:
The uninterruptible power system (UPS), battery pack cabinet and/or power distribution unit (PDU) is thoroughly checked, both
electrically and mechanically, before shipment from the factory. With the extensive protection provided in packaging the unit for
shipment, it should be in proper condition upon receipt. However, there is a possibility that the unit might have been damaged in
transit so a complete inspection of the equipment should be made before signing receipt. As a minimum, the following inspection
procedures should be executed as soon as possible after delivery.
Receiving / Unpacking lnspection Checklist
5.
Each palletized unit is designed for forklift or lift gate handling. It is recommended that all packaging be left intact until the unit
is in close proximity to its final location to prevent incidental damage during movement.
6.
Inspect the exterior packaging for obvious damage such as punctures or gashes that are indicative of damage to the unit. If
evidence of damage exists, save the packaging material for inspection by the carrier when a claim is filed. Request for inspection
should be made immediately.
7.
Strapping should be cut and the corrugated cap and/or sleeve carefully removed. Remove padding and plastic sheeting. The
cabinet then may be unbolted from the shipping pallet.
8.
Inspect each cabinet: check all exterior surfaces for scratches, chips, cracks and/or indentations. Check monitoring panels
carefully.
9.
If door key is needed, locate key envelope taped to rear of cabinet. Open each door, checking for damage.
10. A label on the outside of the UPS tells the location of the Operations & Maintenance (O & M) Manuals.
11.
Remove any internal padding/packaging, checking carefully for parts, documentation, etc., that might have been shipped inside
the cabinet. If foam
12.
blocks are inside the battery trays, leave them in place. The are to keep small batteries from moving around inside the trays.
Damage Documentation
It is the responsibility of the recipient to file claim with the carrier for damages to the equipment or notify IPM, depending on the
f.o.b. point. Any and all damage noted upon receipt of the UPS, battery pack and/or PDU should be clearly identified in detail on the
Bill of Lading. Carrier’s claim procedures should be initiated promptly. In the event damage is found after delivery, it should be
reported as soon as possible (normally, there is a 15 day time limit on reporting damages incurred in shipment).
