IMPORTANT INFORMA TION

A. RECEIVING AND HANDLING

The dryer is shipped in a protective stretch wrap cover with protective cardboard corners and top cover (or
optional box) as a means of preventing damage in transit. Upon delivery , the dryer and packaging, and wooden
skid should be visually inspected for shipping damage. If any damage is noticed, inspect further before delivering
carrier leaves.

Dryers damaged in shipment:

1.

ALL dryers should be inspected upon receipt and before they are signed for.

2. If there is suspected damage or actual damage, the trucker ’s receipt should be so noted.

3. If the dryer is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused. Those dryers, which were not damaged in a
damaged shipment, should be accepted, but the number received and the number refused must be noted
on the receipt.

4. If you determine that the dryer was damaged after the trucker has left your location, you should call the
delivering carrier’s freight terminal immediately and file a claim. The freight company considers this
concealed damage. This type of freight claim is very difficult to get paid and becomes extremely difficult
when more than a day or two passes after the freight was delivered. It is your responsibility to file freight
claims. Dryer or parts damaged in transit cannot be claimed under warranty.

5. Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and ALL claims must be filed at the receiving end.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.

IMPORTANT: The basket (tumbler) section of the dryer must be transported and handled in an

upright position at ALL times.
