Damaged Packaging

Upon receipt of your quaternary pump, inspect the shipping containers for any signs of damage. If the containers or cushioning material are damaged, save them until the contents have been checked for completeness and the quaternary pump has been mechanically and electrically checked. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, notify the carrier and save the shipping material for the carrier’s inspection.

If there are signs of damage to the quaternary pump, please do not attempt to install the quaternary pump.

Delivery Checklist

Ensure all parts and materials have been delivered with the quaternary pump. The delivery checklist is shown in Table 2. To aid in parts identification, please see Chapter 5 “Parts and Materials”. Please report missing or damaged parts to your local Agilent Technologies sales and service office.
