Important Information ________________
Receiving and Handling
The dryer 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 dryer and packaging, and wooden skid should be visually
inspected for shipping damage. If any damage is noticed,
inspect further before delivering carrier leaves.
Dryers damaged in shipment:
All dryers should be inspected upon receipt and before they
are signed for.
If there is suspected damage or actual damage, the trucker’s
receipt should be so noted.
If the dryer is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused.
Those dryers, which were not damaged in a damaged
shipment, should be accepted, but the number received and
the number refused must be noted on the receipt.
If you determine that the dryer 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.
Dryer or parts damaged in transit cannot be claimed under
warranty.
Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and
all claims must be filed at the receiving end. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.
IMPORTANT: The tumbler section of the dryer must be
transported and handled in an upright position at all times.
