Contact the shipping company locally about the service usually rendered. If moving
equipment will be required at the site, obtain help from the plant facilities department or an
outside moving service.
Sea freight or motor freight without air cushion suspension is not recommended for long
distance delivery of systems.
1.4 Postdelivery Procedure
When the system is delivered, follow the instructions below to inspect for shipping damage
before moving the crates. Do not open any crate.
CAUTION:
Do not open any crate except with direct instructions from an
authorized Varian service representative. In particular, the crate
containing the magnet has components that could be irreparably
damaged if opened incorrectly.
1.
When the shipment arrives, make an immediate visual inspection of the outside of
each crate for damage. Take the following steps if any damage is found:
a.
Note the nature of the damage on the carrier’s waybill.
b.
Request an inspection and written damage report by a representative of the
carrier.
c.
Forward a copy of the damage report to the local Varian representative.
In case of damage, the FOB block on the Varian Order Acknowledgment form
determines owner responsibility:
•
FOB PALO ALTO. Transfer of ownership occurs when the shipment leaves the
factory. The customer is responsible for claims for shipping damage. Upon
request, Varian will provide assistance in filing claims.
•
FOB DESTINATION. Transfer of ownership occurs at customer’s point of
receipt. Varian is responsible for claims for shipping damage.
Damage discovered fifteen or more days after delivery generally cannot be
recovered. Such damage will be at the expense of the customer.
2.
As soon as possible, move the shipment to a clean, dry location (preferably the
installation site). Move the crates in an upright position as described in
System After Delivery” on page 10
.
3.
Contact Varian to schedule the visit of an installation engineer after the shipment is
moved to the installation site, the utilities are installed, and non-Varian installation
parts and supplies (listed in
Chapter 4, “Installation Supplies,” on page 31
) are
received.
For installations in the United States, telephone the installation department at (650)
424-4587. For installations at other locations, contact the nearest Varian sales or
service office, listed in the beginning of this guide.
