UNPACKING AND DAMAGE

Save all packing material until unit is put into

factory.

Responsibility for safe delivery was assumed by
the carrier upon acceptance of the shipment;
therefore, claims for loss or damage sustained in
transit must be made upon the carrier by the
recipient as follows:

Visible Loss or Damage: Note any external
evidence of loss or damage on the freight bill, or
express receipt, and have it 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 your damage claim.
The form required to file such 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 merchandise has been
unpacked and inspected. Should either occur,
make a written request for inspection by carrier's
agent

within 15 days of the delivery date; then file
a claim with the carrier since the damage is the
carrier's responsibility.

If you follow the above instructions carefully, we
will guarantee our full support of your claim to be
