Checking for Shipping Damage
The inverter is thoroughly checked and tested rigorously before it is shipped. Even though it is
bolted onto a rugged, oversized pallet for delivery, the inverter can be damaged during shipping
by poor handling, trucking or transfer station activity.
Please inspect the inverter thoroughly after it is delivered. If any damage is seen, immediately
notify the shipping company to make a claim. If there is any question about potential shipping
damage, contact Solectria Renewables. Photos of the damage will be helpful in documenting
potential shipping damage.
•
Do not accept the unit if it is visibly damaged or if you note visible damage when signing
shipping company receipt.
•
Note damage on shipping papers with the truck driver. Report damage immediately to
the shipping company.
•
Do not remove the unit from pallet/packaging if damage is evident.
•
If it is determined that the unit must be returned, a RMA number must be obtained
from Solectria Renewables prior to shipping the unit back.
3.2
Removing Inverter from Pallet and Moving Inverter into Place
It is recommended to keep the inverter secured to the pallet and moved as close as possible to
the final location prior to removing the pallet. To remove the securing bolts use a 1/2” socket
and/or wrench. Completely remove each nut and bolt from the pallet.
Use a capable forklift or crane to lift the inverter.
NOTE:
Failure to follow these lifting guidelines may cause structural damage to the
inverter and void the warranty.
WARNING:
The inverter may tip over if improperly moved, potentially causing
damage to equipment, personal injury or death. Do not tilt the pallet or inverter
while moving it.
WARNING:
Do not install the inverter on or over combustible surfaces or materials.
WARNING:
Connecting the inverter to the electric utility grid must only be completed
after receiving prior approval from the utility company. Installation must be
performed only by qualified personnel/licensed electrician(s).
