GENERAL
Please read these instructions carefully. They contain vital
information on proper installation, operation, maintenance and
service for the Dodge Quantis MSM gear reducer.
Each Dodge gear reducer is thoroughly inspected and tested at
the factory prior to shipment. Care is taken in packing of each
gear reducer. However, each gear reducer should be thoroughly
inspected before it is accepted from the transportation company.
If any of the goods called for in the bill of lading are damaged or
missing, do not accept the shipment until the freight agent makes
appropriate notation on your freight bill. If any loss or damage
is discovered later, notify the agent at once and request an
inspection. Though Dodge will be happy to assist you with claims
for loss or damage in shipment, the transportation company is
responsible for reimbursing you for such claims. Claims for loss
or damage in shipment must not be deducted from the Dodge
invoice, nor should payment of the Dodge invoice be withheld
awaiting claims adjustment. The carrier, not Dodge, guarantees
safe delivery. If considerable damage or shortage has occurred
and the situation is urgent, contact your local representative.
