BEST PRACTICES FOR PERSONAL SAFETY AND PRODUCT CARE 

Thank you for choosing Electro-Mech products for your athletic facility.  We hope you 

will be pleased with the performance and appearance of your shot clocks.  The 

information in this document will help you maintain the equipment in its best condition. 

Receiving Your Shot Clock Set 

Depending on the shipping method, cardboard sheets, partially open wooden crates, or 

a set of complete enclosures may protect the shot clock cabinets.  It is important to 

inspect all packaging for damage when the cabinets arrive 

 

before signing any 

paperwork telling the trucking company that you have received everything in good 

condition

.  If damage has occurred to the packaging, then damage may have occurred 

to the shot clocks.  Where you find dents, scrapes, or holes in the packaging, peel back 

the cardboard or other packing materials to expose the cabinet.  Make notes on the 

paperwork provided by the trucking company before accepting delivery.  If the damage 

appears to be severe, refuse the shipment.  Contact Electro-Mech as soon as possible 

if you suspect shipping damage. 

 

We recommend keeping the shot clock cabinets in their packing materials until the day 

of installation.  It is important to keep the packing materials dry.  Wet cardboard can 

adhere to surfaces and damage the finish. 

If your shot clock cabinets arrives in wooden crates, take care to avoid scraping the 

cabinets with tools, nails, or lumber when prying apart the nailed sections.  Make certain 

to pry the wooden pieces apart from each other rather than trying to apply force against 

a scoreboard cabinet.  Aluminum is strong, but a steel crowbar is stronger. 

Once the crate is out of the way, remove the cardboard padding.  You may need to 

remove a few labels adhered to the sides of the cabinets for shipping.  At this point, 

your shot clock cabinets are unpacked and ready for installation.
