SECTION I
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A. RECEIVING and HANDLING
The water vending machine 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 water vending
machine, packaging material and wooden skid should be visually inspected for shipping damage. If any
damage is noticed, inspect further before delivering carrier leaves.
Water vending machines damaged in shipment.
1. ALL water machines 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 water vending machine is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused. Those water vending
machines which were not damaged in a shipment should be accepted, but the number received and the
number refused must be noted on the receipt.
4. If you determine that the water vending machine 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. Water vending machines and parts damaged in transit cannot be claimed under
warranty.
5. Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and claims must be filed at the receiving end. ADC
assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.
6. If you need assistance in handling the situation, please contact the ADC Traffic Manager at (508) 678-9000.
IMPORTANT: The water vending machine must be transported and handled in an upright position
at all times.
B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT: Refer to this manual before making any repairs or adjustments, or doing any maintenance
on this machine.
IMPORTANT: For owners who do not personally maintain the machine, it is their responsibility that the
operator has been properly instructed and is fully aware of the manual contents. This is
important in the safe handling and efficient operation of the machine.
IMPORTANT: Follow maintenance schedule rigorously. Careless maintenance may lead to component
failure and increase operating costs significantly.
