BILL OF LADING
If goods are received short or in damaged condition, it is important that you notify the carrier and insist on a notation of the loss or damage across the face of the freight bill. Otherwise no claim can be enforced against the transportation company.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify your carrier at once and request an inspection. This is absolutely necessary. Unless you do this the carrier will not entertain any claim for loss or damage. The agent will make an inspection and grant a concealed damage notation. If you give the transportation company a clear receipt for goods that have been damaged or lost in transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.

1.2 UNPACKING AND HANDLING
The compressor package has been mounted on a base which provides for forklifting between the two side channels to facilitate handling during shipment. Care in positioning the forklifts is important because the location of the center of gravity is strongly affected by the location of the compression module and drive motor.
Slings can be used to lift the crates, but spreader bars must be used to prevent the slings from exerting a force against the sides of the crates.
1.3 TOOLS
Remove compressor unit from wooden skid. A crowbar and hammer will be needed.
