1.0 RECEIPT OF EQUIPMENT
1.1 INSPECTION
When you receive the compressor please inspect it
closely. Any indication of careless handling by the carrier
should be noted on the delivery receipt especially if the
compressor will not be immediately uncrated. Obtaining
the delivery man’s signed agreement to any noted
damages will facilitate any future insurance claims.
1.2 UNPACKING AND HANDLING
The compressor package has been mounted on a base
which provides for forklifting between the two side
channels to facilitate handling during shipment. Care in
positioning the forklifts is important because the location
of the center of gravity is strongly affected by the location
of the compression module and drive motor.
Slings can be used to lift the crates, but spreader bars
must be used to prevent the slings from exerting a force
against the sides of the crates.
1.3 TOOLS
Remove compressor unit from wooden skid. A crowbar
and hammer will be needed.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS SHIPMENT
CEASED WHEN THE CARRIER SIGNED
BILL OF LADING
If goods are received short or in damaged condition, it is important that
you notify the carrier and insist on a notation of the loss or damage
across the face of the freight bill. Otherwise no claim can be enforced
against the transportation company.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify your carrier at once
and request an inspection. This is absolutely necessary. Unless you do
this the carrier will not entertain any claim for loss or damage. The agent
will make an inspection and grant a concealed damage notation. If you
give the transportation company a clear receipt for goods that have been
damaged or lost in transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
WE, AT I-R, ARE WILLING TO ASSIST YOU IN EVERY POSSIBLE
MANNER TO COLLECT CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE, BUT THE
WILLINGNESS ON OUR PART DOES NOT MAKE US RESPONSIBLE
FOR COLLECTION OF CLAIMS OR REPLACEMENT OF MATERIAL.
THE ACTUAL FILING AND PROCESSING OF THE CLAIM IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY.
