2. 

INSPECTION AND TRANSPORTATION 

 

All activated carbon towers are tested and inspected at the factory prior to shipping.  Thoroughly inspect and verify the 
integrity of the packaging upon receipt and note any damage on the freight bill.  Place the unit as close as possible to the 
installation point before unpacking the contents and inspect for concealed damage.  Freight claims are to be filed with 

the carrier immediately and the manufacturer’s technical service department notified thereafter.

 

+

 

To move the packaged unit, we suggest the use of a suitable crane or forklift. We do not recommend moving the 
unit by any hand operated or manual mechanism. 

+

 

Handle with care. Heavy blows could cause irreparable damage. 

+

 

Even when packaged, keep the machine protected from severe weather. 

 

 

 

The packaging materials are recyclable.  Each material must be properly disposed in a manner complying 
with the rules and regulations of the local municipality government.
