Siemens Type Vector E50001-F710-A420-X-4A00 - Manual (Page 8)

Receiving, handling and storage
Receiving
Each type Vector® manual group-operated
air switch is securely blocked and braced
for shipment on a pallet. It is crated, boxed
or covered as required by shipping
conditions. If special handling is required,
it is so indicated. The type Vector manual
group-operated air switch must be handled
carefully when unloading.
Inspection and unpacking
Inspect the equipment as soon as possible
after receipt for any damage that may have
occurred in transit. Before unpacking,
examine the package itself, as a damaged
package may indicate damage to the
contents of the package. Be careful when
unpacking equipment. The use of sledge
hammers and crowbars may damage the
finish, or the equipment itself. Use nail
pullers. After unpacking, examine
equipment for any possible damage. Check
the shipping manifest to be certain that all
items have been received. If there is a
shortage, make certain it is noted on the
freight bill and contact the carrier
immediately. Notify Siemens medium-
voltage customer service at +1 (501) 362-
8296 of any shortage or damage.

Shipping damage claims
Important: The manner in which visible
shipping damage is identified by consignee
prior to signing the delivery receipt can
determine the outcome of any damage
claim to be filed.
Notification to carrier within 15 days for
concealed damage is essential if loss
resulting from unsettled claims is to be
eliminated or minimized.
1. When shipment arrives, note whether
equipment is properly protected from
the elements. Note trailer number on
which the equipment arrived. Note
blocking of equipment. During
unloading, make sure to count the
actual items unloaded to verify the
contents as shown on the delivery
receipt.
2. Make immediate inspection for visible
damage upon arrival and prior to
disturbing or removing packaging or
wrapping material. This should be
done prior to unloading when possible.
When total inspection cannot be made
on vehicle prior to unloading, close
inspection during unloading must be
performed and visible damage noted
on the delivery receipt. Take pictures if
possible.
