SHORTAGES, DAMAGES AND RETURN AUTHORIZATIONS
SAFETY INFORMATION / RECEIVING & INSPECTION
IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Before uncrating, check quantity of items
received against bill of lading to confirm
that all equipment has been received.
Next, determine if any damage has
occurred. Damage and/or shortage in
shipment should be reported immediately
to both Roach and carrier. Obtain signed
damage report from carrier agent and send
copy to Roach.
Do not repair any damage
before obtaining this report. Finally, con-
sult factory to determine if entire shipment
must be returned to factory for repair or if
a replacement order should be entered for
replacement equipment.
Therefore, it is imperative that the bill of
lading (or, accompanying freight documen-
tation) be checked to ensure receipt of ALL
units ordered including ALL accessories.
After receipt and initial inspection, carefully
remove crating and look for essential com-
ponents and specific accessories that may
have been boxed and attached (or ‘band-
ed’) to crating material such as guard rails
and hardware which may be packaged
and shipped in this manner. Save all
hardware for subsequent use by installation
personnel.
NOTE: Do not return goods to factory
without prior, written return authorization.
Unauthorized returns are subject to refusal
at factory. Also, some items (electric
motors, gearbox, etc.) may be shipped
direct from their manufacturer. Thus,
two or more separate shipments may be
required to receive all equipment.

WORKING AROUND CONVEYOR. NOTE: ALWAYS notify Roach Manufacturing® whenever any conveyor is used in an application
or condition other than was originally intended. Failure to notify Roach® may allow conveyor to be operated in a hazardous operating
condition. Injuries resulting from negligence or violation of safety instructions hereby removes responsibility of product liability claims from

out rollers must be allowed to pop out when
conveyors are installed at or below
7’-0” elevation.

end-user to comply with all safety
standards including OSHA and other federal,
state, and local codes or regulations. Install
