3.1 Inspecting the Equipment
If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping and packing
materials for the carrier or place of purchase and file a claim for shipping damage.
3.2 Floor Loading
When planning the installation, consider the battery cabinet weight for floor loading. The
strength of the installation surface must be adequate for point and distributed loading. The
approximate weights are shown in
Table 1 - Model Floor Loadings

MAXIMUM WEIGHT
FLU-P-300-MBPS
436 lbs (198 kg)
FLU-P-500-MBPS

3.3 Clearances
The following clearances are recommended for the FirstLine P Maintenance Bypass Switch
Cabinet. Other clearances may be needed based on site conditions.
From Front of Cabinet 36” (91.4 cm) working space
Other surfaces
No Clearance requirements
3.4 Unloading the Cabinet(s)
The following tools are required for unloading the cabinet(s):
Wrenches for 3/8” lag bolts.
Forklift or pallet jack
The cabinets are heavy (see
). Unloading the cabinets requires at least
two people to safely remove the cabinets from the pallet.
To remove the Maintenance Bypass Switch cabinet from the ship pallet:
1. Make sure the forklift is rated for the cabinet weight.
2. Make sure the path traveled has sufficient support for the combined weight of the
forklift and the cabinet.
3. Make sure forks are at maximum separation.
4. Use a very strong ratchet strap (or similar device) of sufficient strength to tie the
upper part of the cabinet to the forklift tower before moving.
5. Keep people out of the fall zone. If the cabinet topples over, stand clear
6. With a Phillip’s screwdriver, remove the two kick panels. These will be remounted
when the cabinet is in place.
7. Remove all banding, wrapping and foam protection.
8. Remove the six 3/8” lag bolts securing the cabinet to the pallet. See
Figure 2 - Pallet Mounting Hardware
