When the switchgear is in its final position, remove all
lag bolts holding the shipping skids to the switchgear
line-up.

Raise the other end of the line-up slightly and remove
the remaining roller at that end.
Jacks
Jacks may be used in place of forklifts to raise and lower
switchgear.
1. Place a jack under the front and rear corners of one end
of the line-up.
CAUTION: Do not place jacks in any other location other
than the front and rear corners of the switchgear. Doing so
may result in serious damage to the switchgear equipment.
ATTENTION: Il ne faut pas placer de vérins en aucun
endroit autre que les coins avants et arrières du dispositif
de commutation. L’équipement peut être sérieusement
endommagé si l’on ne respecte pas cette directive.
2. Raise the switchgear evenly and just enough to position
a roller beneath the equipment. Gently lower the
switchgear onto the roller. Repeat the procedure at the
opposite end of the switchgear, raising the gear far
enough to place the appropriate number of rollers under
the skids, spacing them evenly across the width of the
line-up. Gently lower the gear onto the rollers.
