Pre-installation: receiving,
handling, and storage
Receiving
Upon delivery, use the packing list to confirm the number of items
against what was received to ensure that the shipment is complete.
Any discrepancies should be noted on the freight bill before signing.
Report any shortages or damage to the freight carrier immediately.
Immediately upon receipt of the switchboard, the plastic covering
should be carefully removed and a thorough inspection of each
section should be made to detect any damage incurred during
shipment. Any damage should be noted on the bill of lading (freight
bill) and the consignee receiving the equipment should notify
the freight carrier. FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE FREIGHT CARRIER
OF DAMAGE IN A TIMELY MANNER MAY RESULT IN THE
CONSIGNEE ASSUMING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIR
OR REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED EQUIPMENT.
After inspection, it is recommended that a plastic covering be used
to protect the equipment from dust, dirt, moisture and damage until
ready for installation.
The switchboard should remain attached to its shipping skid until it
has been moved into its final installation position.
Handling
WARNING
SWITCHBOARD IS TOP HEAVY. USE CARE IN HANDLING.
Switchboards are top heavy. Switchboard sections may weigh over
2000 pounds. Before moving or lifting, verify that the equipment
used to handle the switchboard is within safe limits of its lifting
capacity.
Switchboard shipping lengths will vary. Each shipping section is
bolted with lag bolts to heavy wooden skids that extend beyond all
sides of the switchboard.
DO NOT pass cables or chains through the holes in the lifting
means. Utilize cables or chain with hooks or shackles rated for the
load and weight of the switchboard shipping length to be lifted.
Prepare a sling and a spanner or spreader. (See Figure 4 and 5.)
Eaton does not provide chain, cables, shackles, hooks, spanner
or spreader. Lifting bars on long lineups may require additional
spreaders to reduce any horizontal compressive force.
Utilizing lifting means
Top Lifting means are bolted to each main switchboard shipping
length(See figure 1). It includes a grade 5, 3/8”-16 hex bolt 1-1/2”
lg, two washers, Hex nut, internal support for each side and three
lifting eyes for each corner. See Figure 2. Torque rating for the bolt is
26 ft-lbs. Lifting angle minimum 45degree. If 45degree angle can’t
be achieved use normal derating factor based on reduced lift angle.
