material shortage to the carrier and make a “unit damage” notation on the carrier’s
delivery receipt. Specify the extent and type of damage found and notify the appropri

sales office approval.
Inspection Checklist
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in transit, complete the following
checklist upon receipt of the unit.
• Inspect the individual pieces of the shipment before accepting the unit. Check for
obvious damage to the unit or packing material.
• Inspect the unit for concealed damage as soon as possible after delivery and
before it is stored. Concealed damage must be reported within 15 days.
• If concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking the shipment. Do not remove
damaged material from the receiving location. Take photos of the damage, if pos

occur after delivery.
• Notify the carrier’s terminal of the damage immediately, by phone and by mail.
Request an immediate, joint inspection of the damage with the carrier and the

however, until damage is inspected by the carrier’s representative.
