Installation
Preparing
the switchgear room
➭ Clean the switchgear room thoroughly.
➭ Draw a marking line at the mounting position in order to align the switchgear.
➭ Unpack the transport units at the place of installation. Do not unpack parts supplied with
the switchgear in order to avoid loss and damage.
Depending on the constructional facts in the switchgear room, there are two possibilities for
setting down the transport units at the place of installation in the switchgear room:
• Setting down from the narrow side of the floor opening
• Setting down from the long side of the floor opening
Setting down
the transport units
from the narrow side of
the floor opening
The transport units are moved over the floor opening coming from the narrow side of
the floor opening, and are set down side by side.

➭ Lift the transport unit.
➭ Remove the roller pads / tubes from underneath the transport unit.
➭ Set down the transport unit carefully.
➭ Shift the transport unit with hydraulic jacks, lifting equipment or lifting jacks until it is
exactly aligned on its mounting position. Prop the hydraulic equipment or jacks up at
surrounding walls.
➭ Roll the next transport unit along the floor opening, place it at a distance of 500 mm from
the first transport unit and align it roughly.
➭ Lift the transport unit, remove the roller pads / tubes and set down the transport unit
carefully.
