3 RECEPTION, TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND STORAGE
3.1 Reception protocol
Make sure that the equipment has not been damaged during transport.
Check that the equipment received matches the order and that its electrical characteristics
are suitable for the grid where it is to be connected.
Check the shipping documentation. The dispatch note number must coincide with the
number marked on the outer part of the unit packaging.
Unload and transport the equipment in accordance with the instructions in section 3.2
Perform an external and internal visual inspection of the equipment prior to connecting it.
Check that all items on the packing list are present.
If any discrepancy is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport
company or CIRCUTOR's after-sales services.
3.2 Transport, loading and unloading, handling and storage
The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the equipment must be
carried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual or mechanical
tools to prevent damaging the equipment.
If the equipment is not to be immediately installed, it must be stored at a location
with a firm and level floor and the storage conditions listed in the technical features
section must be observed. In this case, it is recommended that the equipment be
stored with its original protective packaging.
To move the equipment a short distance, the unit's floor support profiles facilitate handling with a
pallet jack or forklift.
The centre of gravity of some units may be found at a considerable height.
Therefore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended that the equipment be
securely fastened and that no abrupt operations are made. The equipment should
not be lifted more than 20 cm over the ground.
Fig. 3-1 .-Transport with pallet jack
When unloading and moving the equipment, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the
entire length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long enough to support the total depth.
The forks must be flat and laid firmly on the base. The cabinet must be raised by placing the forks
underneath the profile that supports the equipment. (Fig. 3-2).
There might be an offset in the centre of gravity from the centre of the cabinet, as a
result of the uneven distribution of loads in equipment. The necessary precautions
must be taken to prevent the equipment from tipping over during abrupt operations.
