Unpacking and Inspection
2.1 — General
NOTE: After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents for damage. Thoroughly inspect the unit immediately
upon delivery to determine if any damage occurred in transit. Any claims for shipping damage need to be filed
with the freight carrier as soon as possible. This is especially important if the generator is not be installed for
a period of time. Any shipping damage, whether obvious or not readily apparent, is not covered by the war-
ranty.

The standby generator set is ready for installation with a factory supplied and pre-mounted base pad and has a
weather protective enclosure that is
intended for outdoor installation only

If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person making the delivery note all damage on the
freight bill or affix their signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage.

If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged materials and contact the carrier for claim pro-
cedures.
