Receiving Your Equipment
As soon as the equipment is received, it should be carefully inspected to
make certain the unit is in good condition and all items listed on the
packing list are received. Even though the equipment is mounted on
heavy shipping skids at our plant it is possible for it to be damaged in
shipment. All damages or shortages should be noted on the Bill of
Lading. The purchaser must take immediate steps to file reports and
damage claims with the carrier. All damages incurred to the unit in transit
are the responsibility of the common carrier since it is the policy of MAC
Equipment, Inc. to make shipment F.O.B. from its factory. Ownership
passes to purchaser when the unit is loaded and accepted by carrier.
Any claims for in transit damage or shortage must be brought against the
carrier by the purchaser.
If the unit is not going to be assembled and installed soon after arrival, it
should be stored in a warm, dry location to protect against corrosion.
Filter bags and cages or cartridges must be stored in a dry, rodent proof
location.
