General information
WARNING
Tall structure—may tip over if mishandled. May cause
bodily injury or equipment damage. Do not remove from
skid until ready to secure in place. Read handling
instructions below before moving.
Medium voltage drives are extremely heavy and the moving
equipment used in handling must be capable of supporting
the weight of the drive. Confirm this capability prior to
starting any handling operations with the drive. Refer to the
charts below for standard SC9000 EP shipping section
weights. These weights are approximate. Refer to the job
specific drawings for the weights of each shipping section.

Chapter 4: Handling, storage, and installation
The drive should be kept in an upright position. If the
equipment is received in the horizontal position, notify the
carrier of possible damage, and restore the drive to the
vertical position as soon as practicable.
Upon receipt, immediately inspect the drive for any signs of
visible or concealed damage that might have occurred during
shipment. If damage is found, it should be noted with the
carrier prior to accepting the shipment, if possible. Carefully
unpack the equipment sufficiently to check for concealed
damage. Verify that there are no bent, broken or loose
components. Review the drive nameplate to ensure that
the marked ratings match the order specifications.
