Receiving, Handling, and Storage

• The factory shipping wrap around the equipment should remain on the equipment until the equipment is ready to be inspected and stored or inspected and installed.

• Check the packing list against the equipment received to ensure the order and shipments are complete.

• Make claims for shortages or other errors in writing within 30 days after receipt of shipment. Failure to do so constitutes unqualified acceptance and a waiver of all such claims to the purchaser.

• Inspect the equipment for damage. If you find or suspect damage, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify Schneider Electric. Delivery of equipment to a carrier at any of the Schneider Electric plants or other shipping point constitutes delivery to the purchaser regardless of freight payment and title. All risk of loss or damage passes to the purchaser at that time.

See Requirements for Shipping, Receiving, and Storage for additional information.

MotorSeT identification rating nameplate is located on the rear of the low voltage door.

Example of Identification Rating Label

Review the shipping documentation to verify the actual weight of the MotorSeT Load Break Interrupter Switch to ensure that the lifting equipment is sufficient. When an overhead crane is not available, rollers, pipes, or a forklift may be used.

This equipment is shipped in individual sections or multiple sections coupled together in a shipping split. The maximum length of a shipping split is 144.00 in. (3657 mm) wide.

WARNING
Equipment ToPPlING Do not remove the skids until the equipment is at the final location. Consult with a certified rigging and lifting expert for any situation not covered in these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING
UNSTABLE LOAD If lifting the equipment by forklift, stabilize the shipping section with a safety strap to reduce the possibility of the equipment toppling over. Consult with a certified rigging and lifting expert for any situation not covered in these instructions. Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Handling Using a Forklift

This equipment is shipped in individual sections or multiple sections coupled together in a shipping split. The maximum length of a shipping split is 144.00 in. (3657 mm) wide.

WARNING
Lifting eye damage If moving by crane, the interior angle of the lifting sling should not exceed 90°. Angles greater than 90° apply greater inward pressure on lifting lugs which can damage or dislodge lifting lugs from the switchgear. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

The switchgear is normally shipped in one to four section shipping splits. Each section has four lifting lugs bolted on top. If more than two bays are shipped as one section, lifting channels, frames, or spreader bars must be used when lifting.

1. Insert a crane hook through each of the four lifting eyes (see Lifting Sling) to lift and move the sections.

   NOTE: Use load-rated cables or chains with safety hooks or shackles. A spreader bar might be necessary to maintain proper angles for lifting.

2. To help prevent structural damage, rig the lifting sling so that the minimum angle between lifting cables or chains and the top of the equipment is 45°, and the maximum interior angle is 90°.

3. If a crane is not available, contact Schneider Electric before using any other lifting method.

4. After the equipment has been placed in position, remove and discard the lifting eyes.

5. Use the bolts from the lifting eyes to cover the mounting holes.

6. Factory-built equipment is assembled using fixtures and on flat and level floor surfaces to maximize the alignment of the sheet metal components. Door and panel adjustments might be necessary once the equipment is removed from the pallet and placed in position.

• Keep this equipment in a clean, dry place that is free from corrosive elements and mechanical abuse.

• Energize the heaters inside the equipment, or add heat from a separate source, such as a light bulb or blower. Use a minimum of 125 watts of heat per unit to keep the equipment dry during storage.

• Remove all flammable materials away from heaters prior to energizing.

• Cover the equipment with a tarpaulin when necessary to help protect it from contaminants and moisture. Do not store indoor or outdoor units outdoors.

• Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the equipment, as it might damage the equipment.

• Monitor the equipment closely in areas with high humidity. If necessary, use additional heat to keep the equipment dry.

• Contact the factory if the internal heaters do not adequately help prevent condensation for your location or environmental condition.
