Reception
When the engine is delivered make sure that the packing has not been damaged during
transport and that it has not been tampered with or that components inside the packing have been
removed (see information marked on covers, bases and cartons).
Place the packed engine as close as possible to the place of installation and remove the
packing material, checking that the goods supplied correspond to the order specifications.
If you notice damage or missing parts, inform SOLÉ S.A. after-sales departments and the
carrier immediately and forward photographic evidence of the damage.
After inspecting the goods if you notice damage, write a reservation on the delivery note. Have
the carrier countersign the note and advise SOLÉ S.A., preferably by mail ([email protected]).
