nsPeCtion

Always keep the unit upright; laying the unit on its side or top 
may cause equipment damage. Shipping damage, and sub-
sequent investigation is the responsibility of the carrier. Verify 

the model number, specifi cations, electrical characteristics, 

and accessories are correct prior to installation. The distributor 
or manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for trans-
portation damage or installation of incorrectly shipped units.
