General
Please read these instructions carefully. They contain vital
information on proper installation, operation, maintenance
and service for the Dodge Quantis Ultra Kleen (UK) RHB gear
reducer.
Each Dodge gear reducer is thoroughly inspected and tested at
the factory prior to shipment. Care is taken in packing of each
gear reducer. However, each gear reducer should be thoroughly
inspected before it is accepted from the transportation
company. If any of the goods called for in the bill of lading
are damaged or missing, do not accept the shipment until
the freight agent makes appropriate notation on your freight
bill. If any loss or damage is discovered later, notify the agent
at once and request an inspection. Though ABB Motors and
Mechanical Inc. will be happy to assist you with claims for
loss or damage in shipment, the transportation company is
responsible for reimbursing you for such claims. Claims for loss
or damage in shipment must not be deducted from the ABB
Motors and Mechanical Inc. invoice, nor should payment of the
ABB Motors and Mechanical Inc. invoice be withheld awaiting
claims adjustment. The carrier, not ABB, guarantees safe
delivery. If considerable damage or shortage has occurred and
the situation is urgent, contact the nearest ABB Sales Office.
