Handling by fork-lift trucks
Handling by fork-lift trucks can be carried out
only after the apparatus has been positioned on a
sturdy support. While handling, pay the utmost
attention not to put any stress on the insulating
parts or on the circuit-breaker terminals.
WARNING
Do not insert the truck forks straight
underneath the apparatus but put the apparatus
on a sturdy support.
Handling by service truck
For handling and inserting the apparatus into the
switchgear, use the service truck (Figure 47).
In order to handle the circuit-breaker with the
relevant truck, follow the instructions below.
• Hook the lifting bolts to the circuit-breaker
supports and align it above the truck (1).
• Press the handles (2) towards the circuit-
breaker centre (*) to insert the horizontal
check pins (3).
• Put the circuit-breaker on the truck.
• Push the circuit-breaker towards the circuit-
breaker compartment and insert the truck
into the guides until the handles (2) are
released (**) outwards and the horizontal
locking pins go into the slots (4), locking the
circuit-breaker.
.
WARNING
• Do not use the service truck for any purpose
other than handling ABB’s apparatus.
• Fix the circuit-breaker to the truck before
moving it.
