If the switchgear or parts thereof are delivered in seaworthy crates, these can be stored
up to 6 months in other rooms or outdoors. The storage place must have the following
characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Protected against humidity (rain water, flooding, melting water from snow and ice),
pollution, vermin (rats, mice, termites, etc.) and unauthorized access
• Place all crates on planks and square timber for protection against floor humidity.
• After 6 months of storage, have the desiccant agent regenerated professionally.
To do this, ask for expert personnel via your regional Siemens representative.

Unloading and transport to the place of installation

ATTENTION!
Non-observance of the following instructions can endanger people or damage
the transport units while unloading.
Make sure that nobody is standing in the swinging area of lifted switchgear.
Attach ropes far enough on the hoisting tackle so that they cannot exert any forces
on the switchpanel walls under load.
Observe the dimensions and weights of the transport unit (delivery note).
Observe even weight distribution and the high center of gravity of the switchgear.
Please ensure that the lifting and transport gear used meets the requirements as
regards construction and load-bearing capacity.
Do not climb onto the roof of the switchpanels.
If the low-voltage compartment is removed, do not step on the mounting plates of
the low-voltage compartments.
Observe the instructions on the packing.
Unload the transport units in packed condition and leave packed for as long as
possible.
Do not damage the PE protective foil.
Attach ropes far enough on the hoisting tackle so that they cannot exert any forces
on the switchpanel walls under load.
Sling the ropes around the ends of the wooden pallets.
Move the switchgear on their wooden pallets as far as possible.
Unload the transport units and set them down as close to the switchgear building as
possible in order to avoid unnecessary ways.
Move the transport units into the building, if possible on their wooden pallets.
Only remove packing where absolutely necessary in order to keep the switchgear as
clean as possible.
Remove foil only in the building, right before assembling the transport units,
and temporarily to check for transport damages.
Set the transport units down in the correct sequence directly in front of the place of
installation (leave a clearance for installation).
