Inspecting for Damage
All equipment leaving the factory is carefully inspected and
packed by personnel experienced in the proper handling and
packing of electrical equipment. Upon receipt of any
equipment, immediately perform a visual inspection to
ascertain if any damage has been sustained in shipping or if
there are any loose parts. Be sure to inspect all devices
mounted inside compartments of each section to see if any
have been dislodged or damaged.
Gerapid circuit breakers are shipped separately in individual
boxes with the breaker in the open position. (See Fig. 21-2)
Circuit breakers should be unpacked and visually inspected for
damage or loose parts as soon as possible after they have
been received.
Remove the carton box and check plastic covers for any
damages. Do not remove the plastic if the breaker will be
stored for long periods. (See. Fig. 21-2 and 21-3)

Filing a Claim
If any damage is evident, or indication of rough handling is
visible, file a claim for damage at once with the transportation
company and notify the nearest GE Energy Sales Office
immediately. Information on damaged parts, part number,
case number, requisition number, etc., should accompany the
claim.
2-2 Handling and unpacking
Module handling and unpacking
NOTE: The Module should be transported and installed in
its final location prior to installing the trolley.
The module shipping crate should be transported using forklift
only. During transport, the module should remain in its original
package. To unpack the module, start by removing the top
cover, then remove sidewalls and all inner supports.
CAUTION: Never use a forklift to transport an unpacked
module, as the module is not bolted to the shipping
palette.
