Unpacking and Inspection
When you receive your Lightning system, inspect the shipping cartons for signs of physical damage. Contact your dealer and the shipper immediately if you suspect any damage has occurred during shipping. Check the contents of each box to be sure that all parts are included. If any items are missing, contact your dealer immediately. After unpacking all equipment, please save the packing materials for future shipping convenience.
