Pre-installation: receiving,
handling, and storage
Receiving
Upon delivery, use the packing list to confirm the number of items
against what was received to ensure that the shipment is complete .
Any discrepancies should be noted on the freight bill before signing .
Report any shortages or damage to the freight carrier immediately .
Immediately upon receipt of the Recombiner, the plastic covering
should be carefully removed and a thorough inspection of each
section should be made to detect any damage incurred during
shipment . Any damage should be noted on the bill of lading
(freight bill) and the consignee receiving the equipment should
notify the freight carrier .
FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE FREIGHT
CARRIER OF DAMAGE IN A TIMELY MANNER MAY RESULT IN
THE CONSIGNEE ASSUMING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED EQUIPMENT
.
After inspection, it is recommended that a plastic covering be used
to protect the equipment from dust, dirt, moisture, and damage until
ready for installation .
The Recombiner should remain attached to its shipping skid until it
has been moved into its final installation position .
