Unloading and Handling 5
3.0 UNLOADING AND HANDLING
The UPS module is shipped in one cabinet to allow easy handling at the site. Because the weight
distribution in the cabinet is uneven, use extreme care during handling and transport. Your
installation may also include Battery Cabinet(s), 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.
