2.

Use a forklift or other material handling equipment to move the cabinets to a

convenient unpacking area. Insert the forklift jacks between the foam cushions

on the bottom of the unit.

CAUTION:

DO NOT tilt cabinets more than 10 degrees from vertical.

3.

Set each pallet on a firm, level surface, allowing a minimum clearance of

4.6m (15 ft) on each side for removing the cabinets from the pallets.

4.

Cut the steel bands around each cabinet.

5.

Remove the protective cardboard covering from the cabinets, cutting where

indicated, using a knife blade no longer than 25 mm (1 in.).

NOTE: Do not discard the packaging material yet. Instructions for unloading the

cabinet from the pallet are printed on the cardboard, and you will need to

refer to them.

6.

Remove the plastic bag and foam packing material, and discard or recycle

them in a responsible manner.

Unloading the UPS System From the Pallet

The UPS and Environmental cabinets are each bolted to sheet metal pallets

consisting of four supports secured to foam cushions. The foam cushions act as

shock absorbers for the cabinet during shipment.

WARNING:

UPS cabinets are extremely heavy. If unloading instructions are not closely

followed, the cabinet may tip and cause serious injury.

Turning the jacking bolts unevenly may cause the cabinet to become

unbalanced. To prevent tipping, raise and lower the jacking bolts evenly. The

cabinet should only be raised approximately 3 mm (

1/8

in.) above the floor

(just enough to remove foam cushions).

1.

Starting with the UPS cabinet, open and remove the cabinet door. Remove the

retaining screw located inside the door at the bottom hinge pivot point, then lift

the door off. Save the retaining screws for reinstallation of the door.

2.

Locate the field kit (packed inside of the cabinet or communication panel).

Locate the four ½-in. jacking bolts and install them in the threaded holes in the

front and rear supports. Place a floor protector underneath each jacking bolt,

and screw the bolts down against them. The floor protectors will save the floor

from being marred by the jacking bolts.

3.

Loosen, but do not remove the hardware holding the foam cushions to the

front and rear supports (labeled “1” in Figure 3).

4.

Turn each jacking bolt consecutively, two full turns, until the foam cushions

clear the floor by approximately 3 mm (

1/8

in.).

5.

After the foam cushions clear the floor, remove the hardware loosened in

step 3. Pull the foam cushions out from under the cabinet, and discard or

recycle them in a responsible manner.
