ENGLISH
Receiving the MCC Inspect the MCC for damage as soon as it is received. Delivery of the
equipment to a carrier at any of the Schneider Electric plants or other
shipping point constitutes delivery to the purchaser. Title and all risk of loss
or damage in transit shall pass to the purchaser at that time. Refer to the
Schneider Electric Conditions of Sale for more details. All claims for loss
and damage must be made by the purchaser to the carrier.
If the packaging material is removed, replace it for protection until the MCC
is installed.
Handling the MCC
Equipment Needed Adequate equipment, such as a fork truck, crane, or rods and pipe rollers,
must be available for handling MCCs. Table 3 lists the approximate shipping
weights of sections equipped with typical units.
Moving the MCC As shown in Table 2, weights vary by enclosure type and depth. To
minimize the risk of injury and equipment damage while moving the MCC,
follow these guidelines:
• Use caution when moving heavy equipment.
• Verify that the moving equipment is rated to handle the weight.
• Fork trucks, when available, provide a convenient method of moving
MCCs (see Figure 4 on page 16). When removing an MCC from a
shipping pallet, carefully balance and secure it using a safety strap.
NOTE: Standard sections are packaged and shipped in a sideways
position, as shown in Figure 2 on page 14 and Figure 4 on page 16. Extra
heavy sections, such as 18-pulse drives, are packaged and shipped in an
upright position, as shown in Figure 3 on page 14. MCC sections can also
be packaged and shipped in an upright position at the customer’s request.
WARNING
HAZARD OF BODILY INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Use extreme caution when moving sections. The MCC has a high
center of gravity, which may cause it to tilt.
• Do not attempt to lift or attach lifting means to sections equipped with
pull boxes.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death or serious injury.
