Receiving Inspection
After removing your RPM from its carton, it should be inspected for damage that may have occurred in
shipping. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. Warranty claims
for damage caused by the carrier will not be honored. The packing materials that your RPM was
shipped in are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage. In the unlikely case that the RPM
needs to be returned to MINUTEMAN, please use the original packing material. Since MINUTEMAN is
not responsible for shipping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing material
is inexpensive insurance. PLEASE SAVE THE PACKING MATERIALS!
