Chapter 3 - Unpacking and Installing Frame

Initial Inspection

The SymmetraTM 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. Inform APC 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 weight and dimensions. Before removing shipping materials, the frame and pallet should be positioned as closely as possible to the installation site. The frame is bolted to the pallet. It is re- moved 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 - Position the modules pallet(s) as closely as possible to the final installation site with the pallet jack. If this is not possible, remove the outer packaging mate- rials and carry each individual, boxed module to the installa- tion site.

Move the Frame

1.Plan the Route - Make sure all passages are large enough to accommodate 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, to remove the packaging materials, and to install the ramp. It must provide adequate space 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 the Pallet Jack - Carefully move the frame to the staging area.
