SHIPPINGINSPECTION
All units are securely packed in shipping containers tested ac- cording to International Safe TransitAssociation specifications. The carton must be checked upon arrival for external damage. If damage is found, a request for inspection by carrier’s agent must be made in writing immediately.
The furnace must be carefully inspected on arrival for damage and bolts or screws which may have come loose in transit. In the event of damage the consignee should:
1.Make a notation on delivery receipt of any visible damage to shipment or container.
2.Notify carrier promptly and request an inspection.
3.With concealed damage, carrier must be notified as soon as possible - preferably within five days.
4.File the claim with the following support documents within a nine month statute of limitations.
•Original or certified copy of the Bill of Lading, or indemnity bond.
•Original paid freight bill or indemnity in lieu thereof.
•Original or certified copy of the invoice, showing trade and other discounts or reductions.
•Copy of the inspection report issued by carrier’s representative at the time damage is reported to carrier.
The carrier is responsible for making prompt inspection of dam- age and for a thorough investigation of each claim. The distribu- tor or manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for trans- portation damage.
ELECTROSTATICDISCHARGE(ESD)PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge body’s static electricity before touching unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical com- ponents.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This pro- cedure is applicable to both installed and non-installed (un- grounded) furnaces.
1.Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the integrated control module or any wire connected to the control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic charge to ground.
2.Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person’s hand during grounding will be discharged.
3.Service integrated control module or connecting wiring following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded object, repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4.Discharge your body to ground before removing a new control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded object.
