3.5 RECEIVING AND
INSPECTION
Sullair dryers are factory tested prior to shipment.
However, during shipment, there are chances that
the dryer was mishandled or certain parts were
broken or might have come loose. In order to ensure
that the dryer you have received is fit for installation
and operation, we recommend you take a few
minutes to inspect the dryer for any physical abuse
or damage during shipment.
If you notice any damage to the shipment, we
recommend you take the following steps to ensure
proper arrangements can be made to address the
issue.
1. Immediately file a complaint with the ship-
ping company.
2. Contact Sullair or Sullair distributor and
inform them of the damage. (Email or fax the
copy of the shipper claim and acknowledge-
ment)
If there is no physical damage to the dryer –
1. Remove all the crating and packaging.
2. Inspect the dryer for electrical and piping
connection and make sure that they are all
tight.
3. Check the data label, your packing slip and
make sure that it is the correct unit you had
ordered.
4. Follow the recommended safety procedures
and get the dryer ready for installation.
3.6 TRANSPORTATION
1. Use care and caution when transporting the
dryer. Avoid sudden jerks, tilting, dropping
and other physical abuse.
2. A forklift can be used to transport the dryer
provided the forks are long enough to sup-
port the full width or length. Caution must be
used throughout the move.
