Forklift

Only trained personnel should operate the forklift.
Lifting the switch-
board with a forklift
Make sure the switchboard is on a solid surface
and be aware of wet floors and other hazardous
conditions. The switchboard load should be
properly distributed to avoid damage to the
equipment. Follow any operational procedures and
do not exceed the lifting capacity of the forklift.
Before lifting, ensure that the forks/blades of the
forklift are fully inserted under the switchboard
and that they extend under the entire skid (Figure
4). The switchboard may be top heavy and should
be secured to the forklift with a safety strap. The
strap must be located properly to stabilize the
equipment and should not be placed over any
components that may be damaged by the strap.
Lift the switchboard slowly to the minimum height
necessary to move the equipment safely.

length of time, observe the following precautions
to prevent corrosion or breakage:
• Keep the switchboard in an upright position and
store on a flat, stable surface

area in moderate temperature. Cover the
equipment to prevent deposits of dirt or other
foreign material on movable parts and electrical
contact surfaces (heavy-duty plastic is
recommended for covers). Until they are properly
installed, outdoor switchboards are not
weatherproofed
