Shipping and Storage

8.1 Shipping
The equipment is shipped on pallets (Germany) or in boxes (outside Germany)
Note : After unpacking, check all supplied equipment immediately for shipping damage. Report
shipping damage without delay to the forwarding agency.
8.2 Storage
Caution : In the case of inappropriate storage of the individual components, there is the risk of ingress
of water. For this reason, disconnector parts and operating mechanisms must always be stored in the
mounting position.
It is advisable to leave all assemblies in the shipping packing until the start of mounting in order to
protect against contamination and damage.
Special Note : Operating mechanisms are supplied in special packing. This protects the operating
mechanisms against corrosion within a limited time and in a dry atmosphere. It is advisable not to open
this packing until just before the start of mounting.
Caution : In the case of lengthy storage and/or a damp atmosphere , there may be undesired formation
of condensation in the operating mechanisms. If the shipping time and storage time together amount to
more than 6 months or if operating mechanisms are stored in a damp atmosphere, the special packing
must be removed immediately and the electrical heating of the operating mechanisms must be started.
Before doing this, remove bags with desiccative from the operating mechanisms !
