3.1.1 Initial Inspection
Upon receiving the boiler, inspect it for signs of
shipping damage. Since some damage may be hidden,
unpack the boiler, open the front and side doors and
inspect the internals of the boiler.
Verify that the total number of pieces shown on the
packing slip agrees with those actually received.
Important:
Note any damage, suspected potential
damage, or shortage of materials on the freight bill and
immediately notify the carrier. File all claims for
shortage or damage with the carrier. Claims for
hidden damages must be filed with your carrier within
7 days. The boiler carton is equipped with a “Tip (N)
Tell”. If "Tip (N) Tell” arrow point is blue, or if the
“Tip (N) Tell” is missing, it is likely that the package
has been on its side or tipped over in transit.
3.1.2 Storage Prior to Installation
If the boiler is not installed immediately, it must be
stored in a location adequately protected from the
weather, preferably indoors. If this is not possible,
then it should remain in the shipping container and be
covered by a tarpaulin or other waterproof covering.
Note: controls and other equipment that are
damaged or fail due to weather exposure are not
covered by warranty.
