2. Microturbine Handling
2.1. Receiving and Inspection
All Capstone Microturbines are inspected and covered with protective packaging before leaving
the factory. Upon receipt, inspect the packaged items for shipping damage. Preserve the shipping
desiccant by leaving the polyethylene wrapping on the microturbine as long as possible prior to
installation. If you must remove the packaging for inspection, contact your Capstone Authorized
Service Provider for information regarding warranty implications. Do not destroy or discard
packaging materials. Reinstall packaging after initial inspection and before placing system into
storage. For initial inspection purposes or maintenance tasks during storage, carefully remove
original packaging/crating. If the microturbine must be stored prior to installation, refer to
Section 2.2 for maintenance requirements during storage.
NOTE
The majority of Capstone Microturbines are shipped Ex-Works, therefore
Capstone is no longer responsible once a Microturbine has been loaded for
shipment. Many carriers only offer a modest insurance coverage based on bulk
weight and may not cover the full cost of the Microturbine. Please check with
your preferred freight carrier to determine if additional insurance is required to
cover the full replacement cost of the Microturbine prior to shipment.
2.1.1. Damage Reporting
If any damage is evident, note the damages on the shipping documents and the New System
Condition Report (Table 1), immediately file a claim with the carrier, and notify your Capstone
Distributor. Save all packing materials until you determine that all items have arrived in good
condition, as packing materials will need to be given to the shipping company for inspection for
any insurance claims to be approved.
2.1.2. Loose-Shipped Items
Shipping places dimensional constraints on the C1000S/C800S/C600S enclosure. In order to
remain within these parameters and to protect against damage during shipment, the items listed
below are shipped “loose,” i.e. not installed to the system.
Door latches and striker plates (included in enclosure)
Exhaust flappers (included in enclosure)
Air inlet hood assemblies (in separate crate)
Installation instructions for any accessories that may be shipped with the unit, e.g. heat recovery
module, may be found in the accessory’s installation guide.

2.2. Storage
If your C1000S/C800S/C600S microturbine must be stored for a period of time, the following
precautions for storage and removal from storage will help to minimize corrosion and
deterioration. The C1000S/C800S/C600S microturbine can be stored without any preparation,
provided that the units are placed in an environment that meets the environmental operating
conditions defined in the C1000S Product Specification (Table 1). Follow the storage instructions
defined in C1000S Series Microturbine Standard Maintenance Schedule and Procedures
(Table 1).
2.2.1. Basic Storage Requirements (Up to 6 Months)
Keep the system as dry as possible. Prevent moisture from entering the protective
packaging. Desiccants are provided inside the enclosure to reduce humidity while in
storage.
Batteries should be ordered separately from the system, and thus can have easy access
to be maintained. Refer to Battery Maintenance in C1000S Series Microturbine Standard
Maintenance Schedule and Procedures (Table 1).
Store the system at temperature between -40 °C (-40 °F) and 65 °C (149 °F), and at
relative humidity of 40 percent or less, if possible.
2.2.2. Extended Storage Requirements (Longer than 6 Months)
Perform the tasks listed under Basic Storage Requirements above.
If the unit will be in long term storage before use, the microturbine must be ordered
without the batteries. The batteries, ordered separately, will be shipped in time for
commissioning. Refer to the Main Battery Replacement - Capstone Model C200/C1000
Series (Table 1) to install the batteries.
For maintenance tasks during extended storage, carefully remove original
packaging/crating. Do not destroy or discard packaging materials. Reinstall packaging
between maintenance activities while system is in storage. Intake and exhaust sealing
caps for desiccant MUST remain installed during storage, except as necessary to
replace desiccant.
If storage time will extend beyond six months, replace desiccant and perform manual
engine rotation check at the beginning of extended storage time. Refer to Desiccant Kit
Replacement Work Instruction (Table 1) and Locked Rotor Identification Work Instruction
(Table 1).
Replace desiccant and perform manual engine rotation check every 12 months and any
time intake and exhaust sealing caps are removed. Refer to Desiccant Kit Replacement
Work Instruction (Table 1) and Locked Rotor Identification Work Instruction (Table 1).
Keep system as dry as possible. Prevent moisture from entering protective packaging.
In high humidity conditions (greater than 60 percent relative humidity continuous long
term), consult with local commercial water damage prevention and remediation providers
to prepare/preserve system(s) for high humidity conditions.

Repack system in original packaging/crating or equivalent before shipping system to
final installation site.
2.2.3. Non-Operation
For liquid fuel systems: Purge all fuel from system before storage.
Observe the following guidelines to prevent over-discharging system batteries.
oIf the microturbine will be in Stand Alone sleep state for more than five days,
Capstone recommends the following:
Disconnect the UCB battery from UCB connector J13 in each microturbine bay.
Disconnect the UPS battery from the UPS in the C1000 series controller.
oIf the microturbine will not be operated for a period of greater than two weeks, or if
the microturbine is to be serviced or transported, the battery isolation switch (battery
breaker) should be set to OFF. Lock the switch in place using the battery switch bolt
as shown in Figure 3.
If the microturbine will not be operated for a period of greater than one month, isolate the
engines and install desiccant.
Isolate engines if connected to a common exhaust with operating systems if the
microturbine will not be operated for a period of 48 hours. Refer to Section 5.4.5.2.

2.3. Rigging
WARNING
Drop danger! Exercise extreme care when lifting/handling the system.
Keep all nonessential personnel clear of the lifting area at all times.
Proper rigging must be provided during lifting for stability.
If lifting at corner castings, spreader bars are required.
When lifted using fork pockets, support must be provided all the way
through.
CAUTION
Blanking plates must be installed during lifting. Failure to observe this caution
can result in equipment damage.
See Figure 4 for recommended lifting equipment. Refer to the O&I drawing (Table 1) for all
dimensional information, weight and center of gravity of the system. The C1000S/C800S/C600S
enclosure features a base with forklift pockets located at both sides in the center. The system can
be moved using a forklift or overhead crane provided the equipment is rated for the load. When
using a forklift, the forks must be of adequate length to support the unit. Place the forks correctly
so as to not damage the base of the unit. The system can be forked from any side when it is
completely empty or fully populated, otherwise, it must be lifted from the heavy side only. When
using a crane, ensure that all chains/cables and spreader bars are connected correctly for safe
handling. Chains/cables shall not exceedthe lift angle specified bythe spreader bar manufacturer.
If necessary, use guide ropes to prevent swinging and turning.
