3. Receiving, Handling and Storage

SafeGear MCC controllers are subject to complete factory production tests and inspection prior to packaging and shipment. The shipping package is designed to
®
provide reasonable protection during shipment and to provide convenient handling. Accessories such as racking handles are shipped separately from the controller.
:
Receiving
Immediately upon receipt of the controller(s), examine the shipping container to determine if any damage or loss was sustained during transit. If damage or indication
of rough handling is evident, take photos and file a damage claim at once with the carrier and promptly notify your ABB representative. ABB is not responsible for
damage of goods after delivery to the carrier. However, ABB will lend assistance if notified of claims. Use care in unpacking to avoid damaging any controller parts.
Unpack controllers immediately upon receipt. If unpacking is delayed, difficulty may be experienced in making a claim for damages not evident upon receipt. Check
the contents of each carton against the packing list before discarding any packing material. If any discrepancy is discovered, promptly notify the nearest district
office. Information specifying the purchase order number, controller serial number, and part numbers of damaged or missing parts should accompany the claim.
Handling:
SafeGear MCC controller shipping crates are designed to be handled by fork lift.

See the Accessories section for information regarding the lifting accessories available for use with the SafeGear® MCC controller.
Once removed from the shipping container, the controller wheels are designed to move the controller across a clean smooth, paved even surface.
Care must be taken not to damage the secondary locking tab (Figure 2) when transporting, rolling, or handling the SafeGear® MCC controller.
pull the controller by the front handles with the controller in any position other than full Disconnect.
DO NOT
move the controller by pushing on the embedded pole assemblies or primary leads of the embedded poles. Damage and misalignment of the pole
DO NOT
assemblies will occur if force is applied to them.
Storage:
Controllers should be installed in their permanent location as soon as possible. If the controllers are not placed in service for some time, it is advisable to store in a
covered, well-ventilated, dry, dust-free, non-corrosive ambient, away from any flammable materials and at a temperature between 23 °F and 104 °F. In any case,
avoid any accidental impacts or positioning which stresses the structure of the apparatus.
This may be done by keeping the controller in its original shipping container and storing it in a warm, dry, and uncontaminated atmosphere. The controllers should
be stored to minimize condensation. Moisture can cause deterioration of metal parts and high voltage insulation.
Prior to storage of the controller, verification should be made that it is free from shipping damage and is in satisfactory operating condition.
Shipping boxes can and will collapse causing damage to the controllers and or personnel and equipment.
