Transportation Damage
All units are securely packed in shipping containers
approved by the International Safe Transit Association.
The carton should be checked upon arrival for external
damage. If damage is found, a request for inspection by
carrier agent should be made in writing immediately.
The unit should be carefully inspected upon arrival for
damage and bolts or screws which may have loosened in
transit. In the event of damage, the consignee should:
1. Make notation on delivery receipt of any visible
damage to shipment or container.
2. Notify carrier promptly and request an inspection.
3. In case of concealed damage, carrier should be
notified as soon as possible-preferably within 5 days.
4. File the claim with the following supporting docu-
ments within the 9 month statute of limitations.
a. Original Bill of Lading, certified copy, or indemnity
bond.
b. Original paid freight bill or indemnity in lieu thereof.
c. Original invoice or certified copy thereof, showing
trade and other discounts or reductions.
d. Copy of the inspection report issued by carrier
representative at the time damage is reported to
the carrier. The carrier is responsible for making
prompt inspection of damage and for a thorough
investigation of each claim. The distributor or manu-
facturer will not accept claims from dealers for
transportation damage.
NOTE: When inspecting the unit for transportation dam-
age, remove all packaging materials. Recycle or dispose
of the packaging material according to local codes.
III. Rigging and Handling
CAUTION
To prevent property damage, the unit
should remain in an upright position
during all rigging and moving operations.
To facilitate lifting and moving when a
crane is used, place the unit in an adequate
cable sling.
Important: If using bottom discharge with roof curb,
ductwork should be attached to the curb prior to installing
the unit. Ductwork dimensions are shown in Amana roof
curb installation instructions.
Refer to the Amana Roof Curb Installation Instructions for
proper curb installation. Curbing must be installed in
compliance with the National Roofing Contractors Asso-
ciation Manual.
Lower unit carefully onto roof mounting curb. While rig-
ging unit, center of gravity will cause condenser end to be
lower than supply air end.
