4RELIAGEAR® SB SWITCHBOARDS
Read the following hazard classifications carefully,
and fully inspect the equipment for any identifiable
hazards prior to installation, operation, or
maintenance. The following classifications listed
below will appear throughout this document or
on labels located on the equipment. These are
standard symbols defined by ANSI Z535.4-2011
which were established for recognition of potential
hazards which pose risk to life and property. The
classification is based on the probability and
severity of injury if the hazard is not avoided.
Please follow instructions, warnings, labels, and
codes for proper installation, operation, and
maintenance of equipment and devices. Only
Qualified Persons, as defined by NFPA 70, should
provide installation, operation, and maintenance
on this equipment and devices.
Danger symbol/Warning symbol
The addition of either symbol to a “Danger” or
“Warning” safety label indicates that an electrical
hazard exists that will result in personal injury if
the instructions are not followed.
This document is based on information available
at the time of its publication. While efforts have
been made to ensure accuracy, the information
contained herein does not cover all details or
variations in hardware and software, nor does
it provide for every possible contingency in
connection with installation, operation, and
maintenance. Features may be described herein
that are not present in all hardware and software
systems. ABB assumes no obligation of notice to
holders of this document with respect to changes
subsequently made.
ABB makes no representation or warranty,
expressed, implied, or statutory, with respect to,
and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness, sufficiency, or usefulness of the
information contained herein. No warrantees of
merchantability or fitness for purpose shall apply.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential physical injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
Danger indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
Notice is used to address practices not related to
physical injury.
Safety instruction (or equivalent) signs indicate
specific safety-related instructions or procedures.

Removing the
switchboard from
the skids
The switchboard should remain bolted to the
shipping skids until it is placed in its final position.
If the switchboard is fitted with lifting hooks (see
Figure 2), an overhead crane or hoist may be used.
Construction rollers on a flat, stable surface or
a forklift truck may also be used to move the
switchboard into position. Make sure to confirm
that all lifting and handling equipment capacities
are sufficient to support the weight of the
switchboard. Also, ensure that the forklift tines
extend beyond the depth of the switchboard and a
belt is used to secure the switchboard to the
forklift, as it may be top heavy. (See Figure 4)
Remove the switchboard from the skids when
placing it in the installation location. To remove
the switchboard from the skid, first remove the
shipping bolts, then carefully slide the equipment
so the rear is off the skid and resting on the floor,
as shown in Figure 1. Tilt the entire equipment
slightly to the rear to release the skid. Be careful
when sliding and tilting the switchboard; due to its
height and weight, the equipment can become top
heavy if tilted too far. Slide the switchboard into
place by pushing on its frame. Blow out any dust or
loose particles of packing material that may have
collected on the device parts. Remove all protective
blocking on relays, devices, or circuit breakers, as
well as any temporary shipping supports.
Receiving
Prior to shipment, the ReliaGear SB switchboard
is given a final inspection and packaged using
precautions to minimize the possibility of shipping
damage. The switchboard may be divided into
sections and shipped on multiple skids. Upon
receiving the switchboard, remove all packaging
and check the packing list against the equipment
received to validate a complete shipment.
Additionally, all equipment should be thoroughly
inspected for any damage sustained in transit. If
damage is noted or if indication of rough handling
is visible, file a claim for damage with the carrier
immediately. Information about damaged parts,
including the part number, case number, and
purchase order number, should accompany
the claim.
Regarding claims for damaged shipments,
shortages, or incorrect material, the following is
an excerpt from the published Supplemental Terms
and Conditions of Sale for products of ABB: “Title
and risk of loss shall pass upon delivery of the
products to the carrier at the f.o.b. point and
invoices shall be payable without deduction
for losses in shipment. It is the Purchaser’s
responsibility to file claims with the carrier for
loss or damage in transit. “Claims for shortages
or incorrect material must be made in writing
within 30 days after receipt of the shipment by
the Purchaser, and the failure to give the Company
such written notice within the 30-day period shall
be unqualified acceptance of the products and a
waiver by the Purchaser of all claims for shortages
or incorrect material.”
Handling
Caution: Use extreme care in handling.
The switchboard may be top-heavy.
