Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2015 38 4349315/00 EN VACUTAP® VR®
changer/de-energized tap-changer or contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhau-
sen GmbH to agree on how to proceed with drying. If this is not done,
the packaged goods may be damaged.
▪ Name the damaged parts.
When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪
Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or
other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages can
only be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur-
ance terms and conditions.
Storage of shipments
Packaged goods dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen
Upon receipt of the shipment, immediately remove the packaged goods
dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen from the sealed packaging and store
air-tight in dry insulating oil until used.
Non-dried packaged goods
Non-dried packaged goods but with a functional sealed packaging can be
stored outdoors when the following conditions are complied with.
When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪
Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting
snow and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and
against unauthorized access.
▪ Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
▪ Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
▪ Keep entrance paths free.
▪ Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action af-
ter storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.
Protect the packaging foil from direct sunlight so that it does not disintegrate
under the influence of UV rays, which would cause the packaging to lose its
sealing function.
