Unpacking standard parts and units
Prior to installation or use, parts and units must be inspected, and then unpacked from
their transport boxes. It is important that this unpacking is done without inflicting
damage to the equipment.
Context
This procedure provides the basic tasks of unpacking units (main unit, spare parts etc)
from boxes shipped from Kongsberg Maritime.
Note
If the unit in question is not unpacked for immediate use, you may consider storing it
unopened in its original box. However, it may be useful to open the box to check its
contents for damage and retrieve any accompanying documentation.
Do not use a knife to open cardboard boxes - the contents may be located close to the
surface, and can then be damaged by the blade.
Procedure
1 Check the carton before opening it to ensure it shows no signs of dropping,
immersion in water or other mishandling.
1 If external damage is detected, open the box to check its contents.
2 Request that a representative of the carrier to be present while the box is
opened, so any transportation damage can be identified and documented.
3 If a unit has been damaged, prepare an inspection report stating the condition
of the unit and actions taken.
Describe the damage, and collect photographic evidence if possible. Return
the inspection report to Kongsberg Maritime as soon as possible.
