Unpacking And Inspection - Ingersoll Rand PL-MANW Mode D'emploi

Each Ingersoll-Rand Air Compressor is carefully tested and
inspected before shipment. Though every attempt is made to
ensure the safe and complete shipment of our product, freight
damage or misplacement of goods may occur.
Shipments of Ingersoll-Rand products are the property of the
Consignee when the products leave our facility. Ingersoll-Rand
Inc. is not responsible for any damages or shortages caused to
the product after it has left our shipping dock.
It is the responsibility of the receiver of the goods, either the Distributor or Customer, to ensure that the product
has been shipped in full and has arrived in suitable condition. Damage to the product may not be visible at time of
off-loading but may only become apparent upon unpacking or start-up.
Some areas to initially check are as follows:
a) Check for damage to the crating and/or packaging.
b) Check for damage to the Beltguard.
c) If the BeltGuard appears damaged, remove the Guard and turn the Flywheel by hand to ensure the
Crankshaft has not been bent, and the Belt drive is properly aligned and free of distortion.
d) Check the Air Tank thoroughly for possible damage.
Should there be damage to the product or shortages in shipment:
1) Stop any further unpacking or operation of the product.
2) Make note of the problem on the Freight Bill, should it concern a shortage or visible
damage to the product.
3) Should the damage be noticed only after the product has been received, contact the
transport company immediately to file a claim.
Depending on the problem, it may be wise to photograph the damage. Also, it may
be wise to discuss with the carrier representative the time allotted to give notice of loss
or damage to the product; there may be guidelines which limit timeframes of same.
4) Do not attempt further unpacking or operation of the product. Also, do not discard
any packing material used.
5) A Loss or Damage Claim must be submitted to the carrier and supported by the
following documents:
