DANGER!
If incorrectly unloaded, the transport units may fall down and cause injury.
Please ensure that the lifting and transport gear used meets the requirements as
regards construction and load-bearing capacity.
Ensure even weight distribution.
ATTENTION!
If incorrectly unloaded, the transport units may be damaged.
Observe the instructions on the packing.
Attach ropes far enough on the hoisting tackle so that they cannot exert any forces
on the cubicle walls under load.
Do not climb onto the roof of the cubicles.
Unload the transport units in packed condition and leave packed for as long as
possible.
Do not damage the PE protective foil during unloading.
Set down the transport units as close to the switchgear building as possible in
order to avoid unnecessary ways.
Move the transport units into the building. Only remove packing where absolutely
necessary in order to keep the switchgear as clean as possible.
Unloading the transport units from the truck should be done by a forklift (fig10).
