Initial inspection
Inspect the cases immediately upon receipt for evidence of damage during transport. If the
shipping material is severely damaged or water stained, request that the carrier's agent be
present when opening the cases. Save all packing material for future use.

After unpacking the system, inspect it thoroughly for hidden damage and loose
components or fittings. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or
