Receipt and Inspection
Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect for damage and missing parts.
If damage or missing parts are apparent, make the appropriate notation
on the delivery receipt, then sign the receipt. Immediately contact the
carrier for an inspection. All material must be held in the receiving
location for the carrier’s inspection. Delivery receipts that have been
signed without a notation of damage or missing parts are considered
to be delivered “clear.” Subsequent claims are then considered to
be concealed damage claims. Settle damage claims directly with the
transportation company.
If you discover damage after receiving the air compressor (concealed
damage), the carrier must be notified within 15 days of receipt and an
inspection must be requested by telephone with confirmation in writing.
On concealed damage claims, the burden of establishing that the
compressor was damaged in transit reverts back to the claimant.
Read the compressor nameplate to verify it is the model ordered, and
read the motor nameplate to verify it is compatible with your electrical
conditions. Make sure electrical enclosures and components are
appropriate.
