by
storing
it
in
a

an
adverse
effect
on

parts
.
Circuit
breakers
for
outdoor
metal
-
clad
switchgear
should
be
stored
in
the
equipment
only
when
power
is
available
and
the
heaters
are
in
operation
to
pre
-
vent
condensation
.
Each
breaker
is
carefuHy
inspected
and
packed
for
shipment
.
Immediately
upon
receipt
of
the
circuit
breaker
,
an
examination
should
be
made
for
any
damage
sustained
in
transit
.
If
injury
or
rough
handling
is
evident
,
a
damage
claim
should
be
filed
immediately
with
the
transportation
com
-
pany
and
the
nearest
General
Electric
Sales
Office
should
be
notified

The
breaker
should
be
stored
in
a
clean
location
,
free
from
corrosive
gases
or
fumes
;
particular
care
should
be
taken
to
protect
the
equipment
from
moisture
and
cement
dust
,
as
this
combination
has
a
very
corrosive
effect
on
many
parts
.

Unfinished
surfaces
of
rollers
,
latches
etc
.
,
of
the
operating
mechanism
shouldbe
coated
with
grease
to
prevent
rusting
.
If
the
breaker
is
stored
for
any
length
of
time
,
it
should
be
inspected
periodically
to
see
that
rusting
has
not
started
and
to
insure
good
mechan
-
ical
condition
.
Should
the
breaker
be
stored
under
unfavorable
atmospheric
conditions
,
it
should
be
cleaned
and
dried
out
before
being
placed
in
service
.
It
is
expected
that
due
care
will
be
exercised
during
the
unpacking
and
installation
of
the
breaker
so
that
no
damage
wiU
occur
from
careless
or
rough
handling
,
or
from

to
moisture
or
dirt
.
Check
all
parts
against
the
packing
list
to
be
sure
that
no
parts
have
been
overlooked
.
