S&C Instruction Sheet 665-506 5
Inspection and Handling
Packing
S&C Manual PME Pad-Mounted Gear is fastened to a wood skid for shipment. Any
components specified, such as fuses, refill units, fuse holders, end fittings, etc., are packed
separately and, insofar as practicable, are shipped within the enclosure.
At the first opportunity, remove all packing materials (cardboard, paper, foam padding,
etc.) from the outside of the gear. This will prevent the finish from being damaged by
rainwater absorbed by the packing materials and will also prevent wind-induced abrasion
from loose cardboard.
Inspection
Examine the shipment for external evidence of damage as soon after receipt as possible,
preferably before removal from the carrier’s conveyance. Check the bill of lading to make
sure that all shipping skids, crates, and containers listed thereon are present.
If there is visible loss and/or damage:
Notify the delivering carrier immediately. 1.
Ask for a carrier inspection. 2.
Note condition of shipment on all copies of the delivery receipt. 3.
File a claim with the carrier. 4.
If concealed damage is discovered:
Notify the delivering carrier within 15 days of receipt of shipment. 5.
Ask for a carrier inspection. 6.
File a claim with the carrier. 7.
Also notify S&C Electric Company in all instances of loss and/or damage.
Handling
Ç WARNING
When handling the gear with an overhead hoist, observe standard lifting practices as
well as the general instructions below. Failure to follow these precau tions can
result in serious personal injury or equipment damage.
Make sure that the lifting tabs are securely bolted to the enclosure before lifting the 1.
gear.
Use 6-foot or longer hoist slings of equal length to pre vent overstressing the enclosure 2.
during lifting. (Four-foot hoist slings are acceptable for two-compartment pad-mounted
gear models: PME-4 and -5.)
Arrange the hoist slings so as to distribute the lifting forces equally between the 3.
lifting tabs. See Figure 1.
Avoid sudden starts and stops.4.
