Handling

Handling using a lifting or fork-lift truck.
The contactor can be lifted using a lifting truck or
a fork-lift truck.
The following precautions must be taken during
contactor handling:
1. Keep the contactor in the upright position.
2. Make sure that the load is balanced on the truck
or on the transport plate/pallet.
3. Interpose protective material between the
contactor and the truck to avoid any damage
or scratches.
4. Fix the contactor onto the truck or onto the
transport plate/pallet to prevent it moving or
tilting over.
5. Avoid excessive speed, sudden starts and stops
or sharp changes in direction during contactor
handling.
6. Only lift the contactor enough to avoid any
obstacles on the floor.
7. Take care to avoid any impacts with
structures, other apparatus or with personnel
when handling the contactor.
8. Never lift a contactor over an area where there
are people.
9. During handling of the apparatus, do not stress
the insulating parts and the contactor terminals.
