Receiving & Handling
This product was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected
before leaving the factory. Responsibility for its safe delivery was
assumed by the carrier upon acceptance of the shipment. Claims
for loss or damage sustained in transit must therefore be made
upon the carrier, as follows:
Visible Loss or Damage
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the
freight bill or carrier’s receipt, and signed by the carrier’s agent.
Failure to adequately describe such external evidence of loss or
damage may result in the carrier’s refusing to honor a damage
claim. The form required to file such a claim will be supplied by the
carrier.
Concealed Loss or Damage
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage which does not
become apparent until the product has been unpacked. The
contents may be damaged in transit due to rough handling even
though the carton may not show external damages. When the
damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a written request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent within fifteen (15) days of the
delivery date. File a claim with the carrier since such damage is the
carrier’s responsibility.
Storage
If equipment is stored for any length of time before installation, it should
remain in its shipping packaging in a clean, dry, climate controlled area.
