Equipment Receiving And Handling - GE Mark VIe System Manual

6.2 Equipment Receiving and Handling

GE inspects and packs all equipment before shipping it from the factory. A packing list, itemizing the contents of each
package, is attached to the side of each case.
Warning
Upon receipt, carefully examine the contents of each shipment and check them with the packing list. Immediately report any
shortage, damage, or visual indication of rough handling to the carrier. Then notify both the transportation company and GE.
Be sure to include the serial number, part (model) number, GE requisition number, and case number when identifying the
missing or damaged part.
Attention
If technical assistance is required beyond the instructions provided in the documentation, contact the nearest GE Sales or
Service Office or an authorized GE Sales Representative.
Warning
130 GEH-6721_Vol_I_BP
Only personnel who are adequately trained and thoroughly familiar with the
equipment and instructions should install, operate, or maintain the equipment. To
prevent damage to the equipment, personnel injury, or death, safe equipment lifting
practices must be followed. For example, use adequate tie-off, load-spreading
mechanisms, precise lifting control, managed acceleration, the correct forklift/crane
rated for equipment tonnage, and so forth.
Immediately upon receiving the system, place it under adequate cover to protect it
from adverse conditions. Packing cases are not suitable for outdoor or unprotected
storage. Shock caused by rough handling can damage electrical equipment. To prevent
such damage when moving the equipment, observe normal precautions along with all
handling instructions printed on the case.
Junction boxes can weigh well over 45.36 Kg (100 lb). Installation should be planned
to protect both the box and the personnel. The use of an overhead crane may be
required. Consult the site specific shipping and junction box documents. Follow all
standard safety practices.
Only personnel who are adequately trained and thoroughly familiar with the
equipment and the instructions should install, operate, or maintain this equipment.
