discrepancies between what was ordered and what was
received.
Before accepting your switchgear, inspect each shipping
split and its packaging for evidence of damage during
shipment. If there is any evidence the equipment has been
damaged or mishandled, a qualified technician should
perform a complete inspection of both the interior and
exterior of the equipment. If there is damage from improper
handling, file a claim for damages at once with the carrier
and notify an ABB representative.
Retain all of the packing material until you are confident

3.4. Unload and move switchgear components
Unload the sections or shipping splits as close to the
installation site as possible to minimize additional
transportation. Place the shipping splits on a flat surface.
When moving the sections or shipping splits, keep them
vertical at all times.

Sections and shipping splits usually have a high center of
gravity. To improve stability while moving them to the
installation site, leave the sections or shipping splits
secured to the shipping skid or base.
! WARNING
Be sure to balance your loads carefully when moving them
and use safety straps when using material-handling
equipment.
! WARNING
The switchgear includes very heavy components. To
prevent equipment damage and serious injury or death,
only use material-handling equipment with sufficient
capacity for the loads involved.
Components should be unloaded and transported only by
qualified operators and/or installers.
NOTE: Never set the switchgear sections on edge. To
prevent deformation, sections should always rest flat on the
floor or supporting structure.
