Inspection

Upon receipt of the UPS, an inspection for shipping damage should be performed. Use caution when
removing the unit from the pallet. Refer to labels or documentation attached to packing material.
Unpacking
Check the unit for loose, broken, bent or otherwise damaged parts. If damage has occurred during
shipping, keep all original crating and packing materials for return to the shipping agent. The warranty
does not apply to damage incurred during shipping. Ensure that the rated capacity and the model number
specifi ed on the nameplate conform to the order specifi cations.

During periods of non-use, the following guidelines are recommended for storage.
Storage Preparation
1 Power up the UPS and allow it to operate with no load for 24 hours to fully charge the
batteries.
