Shipping and Handling
Handling
The crate the switch pole-units are packed in is designed
to be moved and lifted using a lift truck. Raised slots in
the bottom of the crate are provided for a lift truck’s forks.
NOTICE
To minimize time-consuming final adjustments
after installation, make sure the switch poles are in
their fully
Closed position during installation of the
interphase and vertical operating pipe sections. S&C
recommends tying the switch blades to their jaw
contacts with wire or a cable tie.
WARNING
DO NOT lift the switch pole-units by rigging on the
“live parts” or subject these parts to undue stress from
slings or fall lines.
Lifting the switch by the live parts will damage the
switch. Rough handling may cause damage to the
blades and contacts.
Failure to lift the switch properly can result in
switch damage, causing improper operation,
arcing or electrical shock.
