Immediately upon receipt of a G&T device, examine the
cartons to determine if any damage or loss was sustained
during transit. If damage or indication of rough handling is

promptly notify the nearest district office. ABB is not
responsible for damage of goods after delivery to the
carrier. Use care in unpacking to avoid damaging any G&T
device parts.
Unpack the G&T device as soon as possible after receipt.
If unpacking is delayed, difficulty may be experienced in
making a claim for damages not evident upon receipt.

Storage
Store all equipment indoors in a well-ventilated area. For
G&T devices shipped in crates, store G&T devices upright
in their original shipping carton oriented as indicated on
the shipping crates. If the G&T devices are not placed in
service for some time, it is advisable to provide adequate
means of environmental protection. This may be done by
keeping the G&T device in its original shipping container
and storing in a warm, dry and uncontaminated
atmosphere.
The G&T device should be stored to minimize
condensation. Moisture can cause deterioration of metal
parts and high voltage insulation. Cover with heavy
wrapping paper or other moisture barrier. Use materials
that will not trap moisture inside the unit. Do not cover
louvered open-ings. The storage building should have a
well-drained paved floor.
