Initial Inspection
The Symmetra
TM
Power Array system is shipped on pallets.
The system frame is bolted to one pallet, and the modules are
boxed, and stacked on one or two additional pallets.
Check For Damage
1. Inspect the Packaging - for damage or signs of mishan-
dling before moving the pallets. If damage is detected, note it
on the Bill of Lading.
2. If Any Damage Is Detected - file a damage claim with the
shipping agency within 24 hours. Contact APC Customer
Service at 1-800-800-APCC to inform them of the damage
claim, and the condition of the equipment.
3. System Administrator- make sure the system administra-
tor participates in the initial inspection.

Handling Considerations
1. The Frame Pallet - See Table 3-1 for frame pallet weight and
dimensions. Before removing shipping materials, the frame
and pallet should be positioned as close as possible to the
installation site. The frame is bolted to a specially designed
pallet, and is removed from the pallet using a ramp that is
included. Use a pallet jack to position the frame pallet.
Note: Do not attempt to move the frame with a hand dolley.
2. The Modules Pallet - If possible, it is recommended that the
module pallet(s) be positioned as close as possible to the final
installation site with the pallet jack. If this is not possible,
remove the outer packaging materials from the module car-
tons, and carry each individual, boxed module to the installa-
tion site. See Table 3-1 for module weights.

Tools Required for Setup
The following tools are required to move the pallets into place,
remove packaging materials, install the ramp on the frame
pallet, and to remove the frame from the pallet.
1. Large Philips screwdriver
2. Adjustable, open-end wrench
3. Heavy duty shears
4. Sharp utility knife
5. Pallet jack
Storage of Battery and Power
Modules
The modules must be temporarily set aside, while the frame is
installed and wired. To preserve battery life, always store bat-
tery modules in a cool, dry place.
Moving the Frame
1. Plan the Route - Make sure all passages are large enough to
accomodate the frame, and the pallet jack. Check to see that
the floor has sufficient strength. See Table 3-1 for weights and
dimensions. Check doorways, elevators, ramps, etc, to insure
there are no non-negotiable corners, step-ups, or offsets. Se-
lect a route that provides the smoothest possible floor surface.
2. Staging Area - A smooth, level floor surface is required to
position the frame pallet, remove the packaging materials, in-
stall the ramp, and for two people to carefully roll the frame
down the ramp, and onto the floor. See Figure 3-1 below for
staging area dimensions.

3. Using a Pallet Jack - Carefully move the frame to the stag-
ing area.
