TM 5-3895-374-24-1 Storage G-5 If  the  motor  control  center  cannot  be  placed  into service reasonably soon  after  its  receipt,  it  should be  stored  in  a  clean,  dry  and  ventilated  building free    from    temperature    extremes.        Acceptable storage temperature are from  0°C  (32°F)  to  40°C (104°F). If  the  storage  area  is  cool  and/or  damp,  enough heat  should  be  provided  to  prevent  condensation which may be harmful to the motor control center. Contact your local Square D field office. NOTE:  Outdoor  storage  is  inadequate,  even  with the protection of a tarpaulin. Handling G-6 Adequate equipment for handling the motor control centers such as fork truck, crane, or rods and pipe rollers  must  be  available.    The  table  below  gives the   approximate   weight   of   a   single   section   for determining  what  type  of   equipment   to   use   for handling.  A single skid could contain from one to three vertical sections. WEIGHT TABLE Weight per Section Crated Uncrated Structure (Lbs./KG) (Lbs./KG) 15” 381 mm D Front of Board 600/273 550/250 20” 581 mm D Front of Board 650/295 600/273 20” 581 mm D Back to Back 850/386 800/364 The  following  instructions  are  provided  to  avoid injury  and  equipment  damage  while  moving  the motor control centers. 1. Exercise caution when moving heavy equipment. 2. Verify the capabilities of the moving equipment to handle the weight. 3. Fork  trucks,  when  available,  provide  a  quick and    convenient    method    of    moving    motor control centers 4. Lifting  angles  are  provided  on  each  shipping block for handling the motor control center by overhead  cranes.    The  following  precautions should be taken when using a crane a.  Handle in the upright position only. b.    Select  rigging  lengths  to  compensate  for any unequal weight distribution. c.  Do not exceed the 45° maximum between the vertical and lifting cables. d.      Use   only   slings   with   safety   hooks   or shackles.      Do   not   pass   ropes   or   cables through the holes in the lifting angle. 5.    USE  EXTREME  CAUTION  WHEN  MOVING SECTIONS   WITH   RODS   OR   PIPE   ROLLERS. THERE  IS  A  TENDENCY  FOR  THE  CONTROL CENTER  TO  TILT  DUE  TO  ITS  HIGH  CENTER OF GRAVITY. After  the  shipping  section  is  in  place,  its  lifting angle may be removed and discarded.  To prevent entrance  of  foreign  matter,  replace  all  hardware which was used to secure the lifting angle.
