Unloading and Handling

2.0 UNLOADING AND HANDLING
The UPS module is shipped in one cabinet to allow ease of handling at the site. Because the weight
distribution in the cabinet is uneven, use extreme care during handling and transport. Your installa-
tion may also include battery cabinets, a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet and an optional transformer
cabinet.
To reduce the possibility of shipping damage, cabinets are shored with 2x4 bracing, secured with
screw-type nails. This shoring must be carefully removed prior to unloading.

WARNING
Exercise extreme care when handling UPS cabinets to avoid equipment damage or injury to
personnel. The UPS module weight ranges from 5775 to 12100 lbs. (2619 to 5488kg), not
including the optional transformer cabinet. Battery cabinets weigh from 3060 to 5300 lbs.
(1388 to 2404kg).
Locate center of gravity symbols before handling cabinet. Test lift and balance the cabinet
before transporting. Maintain minimum tilt from vertical at all times.
Slots at the base of the unit and battery cabinets are intended for forklift use. Base slots will
support the unit only if the forks are completely beneath the unit.

CAUTION
Extreme care is necessary when removing shoring braces. Do not strike cabinet with
hammers or other tools.
