Transporting the units to the place of installation
DANGER
Risk of falling down when crossing provisionally bridged floor openings with the transport
units.
➭ Observe sufficient load-bearing capacity of the bridges.
➭ Support bridges adequately.
➭ Secure bridges against displacement.
➭ Bridge floor openings that have to be crossed and prop up with adjustable supports.
➭ Fix the bridges to secure them against displacement.
➭ Clean the switchgear room. Special cleanliness is required.
➭ Draw a marking line at the place of installation in order to align the switchgear.
➭ Unpack the transport units inside the switchgear building. Do not unpack parts supplied
with the switchgear in order to avoid loss and damage.
ATTENTION
Sensitive parts of the switchgear may be damaged during transport.
➭ Push the transport units only at the corners of the base frame.
➭ While pushing, take care not to damage any sensitive parts of the switchgear such as gas
pipes, bursting discs, shafts, etc.
➭ Move the transport units as close as possible to the place of installation (switchgear room)
by means of lifting trucks or fork-lift trucks.
Two round steel bars with a diameter of 30 mm are required which are pushed into the
transport holes at the transport unit, same as described for lifting with the crane (see page 65,
"Unloading transport units").
DANGER
If they are lifted unevenly, the transport units can fall over due to their high center of gravity.
➭ Lift the transport units slowly and evenly.
➭ Push the round steel bars into the transport holes at the front and at the rear.
➭ Support the hydraulic or lifting jacks with robust and stable platforms so that they will reach
the bars in lowered condition.
➭ Lift the transport unit carefully.
