Unpacking Instructions 

 

 

 

Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure 

that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper 

immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from 

shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing 

materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture 

be returned in the original factory box and packing.
