Lifting and moving
There are a number of methods that can
be used in handling the type SDV6
distribution circuit breaker that, when
properly employed, will not damage the
type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker. The
handling method used will be determined
by conditions and available equipment at
the installation site. Lifting with a crane by
the use of a sling and lifting lugs is the
preferred method of handling; however,
overhead obstructions often dictate that
other methods must be used. Forklift
trucks may be used prior to removal of
wooden skids. Verify the forklift blades
pass completely under the circuit breaker.
Each type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker
has provisions for attaching lifting cables.
Lifting lugs are provided on two sides of
the circuit breaker, which are designed for
use with a lift sling or hooks of the proper
size and a crane of adequate height and
capacity. Refer to the type SDV6
distribution circuit breaker nameplate for
the weight.
Heavy weight.
Can result in death, serious injury or property damage.
Observe all handling instructions in this instruction manual to
prevent tipping or dropping of equipment.
