The unit should be thoroughly inspected immediately upon delivery by
the carrier. The unit should be placed in an open area to allow inspection
from all sides. Examine the unit for physical signs of damage or
mishandling such as bent support members, misaligned piping or
control components. Report all discrepancies on shipping documents.
Any indication of potentially rough handling by the carrier should be
noted on the delivery receipt especially if the dryer will not be
immediately uncrated. Obtaining the delivery man’s signed agreement
to any noted damages will facilitate any future insurance claims.
5.1 UNPACKING
All models are wrapped in protective plastic to protect fragile
components. Carefully remove the protective wrap from the dryer,
paying particular attention not to damage dryer components during the
removal process.
