Receiving, handling, and storage
Receiving
A visual inspection—inside and out—should be performed
immediately upon receipt of the switchgear and before removing it
from the truck. Shipping papers should be checked to be sure that
all boxes or other accompanying pieces have been received. If any
damage or shortages are evident, a claim should be filed at once
with the carrier and the nearest Eaton office notified.
The data nameplate for each switchgear assembly is located inside
the mechanism access door. The master parts list number is located
on this nameplate and should be given to the Eaton representative
whenever identification of the assembly is required.
Handling
Removable lifting lugs are provided on the top of the MVS structure
for insertion of hooks to lift the complete structure. This is the only
recommended method of moving the MVS structure.

EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE USED NOT TO DAMAGE OR DEFORM THE
SWITCHGEAR IF OTHER MOVING METHODS ARE EMPLOyED.

condensation. Like all electrical apparatus, these units contain
insulation that must be protected against dirt and moisture.
