Chains/cables must be securely attached to hooks, eyes, and shackles,
and the spanner/spreader. Prior to lifting, check the security of the
rigging assembly. Use the crane to bring the assembly taut without
raising the switchboard from the floor.
Check the security of the rigging again. Make any adjustments
necessary before moving the equipment.
Slowly lift equipment to the minimum height from the floor required
to safely relocate it. Move the equipment to approximately 2 inches
above its resting place. Safely make a visual inspection of the
rigging. If necessary, return the switchboard to its original resting
place to make any modifications necessary to the rigging.
Forklifts
A forklift may be used for handling switchboards. Only personnel
trained for that equipment should operate forklifts.
Be sure that the ground surface is solid, and follow all safety recom-
mendations for operating the forklift. Be aware of wet or slick floors
and surfaces, which can affect stopping and turning. Check labeling
on the switchboard packaging material for additional information.
Verify that the forklift load and lifting ratings are within safe limits
for the weight of the switchboard being lifted.
Do not lift switchboard from the front. Damage to components,
such as breakers, fusible switches, and metering, can result.
 CAUTION
SWITCHBOARD IS TOP-HEAVY. USE CARE IN HANDLING.
Figure 5. Forklift
ote:N Always use caution when moving switchboards, which are top-heavy
equipment.
The forks or blades of the forklift must run through the entire switch-
board shipping length and be extended to the outermost sides of the
wooden shipping skids. (See Figure 5.)
Secure the switchboard with a safety strap, belt, or leash approved
for this purpose. Take care in positioning the strap to ensure stability
of the equipment and confirm that it is not in an area that will
damage components.
Slowly lift equipment to the minimum height from the floor required
to safely relocate it.
