Siemens E50001-F710-A420-X-4A00 instruction manual Receiving, handling and storage

Receiving, handling and storage

3.Any visible damage must be noted on the delivery receipt and acknowledged with the driver’s signature. The damage should be detailed as much as possible. It is essential that a notation "possible internal damage, subject to inspection" be included on delivery receipt. If the driver will not sign the delivery receipt with damage noted, the shipment should not be signed for by the consignee or their agent.

4.Notify Siemens immediately of any damage at +1 (501) 362-8296.

5.Arrange for a carrier inspection of damage immediately.

Important: Do not move equipment from the place it was set when unloading. Also, do not remove or disturb packaging or wrapping material prior to carrier damage inspection. Equipment must be inspected by carrier prior to handling after receipt. This eliminates loss due to claims by carrier that equipment was damaged or further damaged on site after unloading.

6.Be sure equipment is properly protected from any further damage by covering it properly after unloading.

7.If practical, make further inspection for possible concealed damage while the carrier’s inspector is on site. If inspection for concealed damage is not practical at the time the carrier’s inspector is present, it must be done within 15 days of receipt of equipment. If concealed damage is found, the carrier must again be notified and inspection made prior to taking any corrective action to repair. Also notify Siemens immediately at +1 (501) 362- 8296.

8.Obtain the original of the carrier inspection report and forward it along with a copy of the noted delivery receipt to Siemens at +1 (501) 362- 8296. Approval must be obtained by Siemens from the carrier before any repair work can be performed. Before approval can be obtained, Siemens must have the above referenced documents. The carrier inspection report and/or driver’s signature on the delivery receipt does not constitute approval to repair.

Note: Any determination as to whether the equipment was properly loaded or properly prepared by shipper for over-the-road travel cannot be made at the destination. Shipments are not released from the factory without a clear bill of lading. Approved methods are employed for preparation, loading, blocking and tarping of the equipment before it leaves the Siemens factory. If the equipment is received in a damaged condition, this damage to the equipment has to have occurred while en route due to conditions beyond Siemens‘ control. If the procedure outlined above is not followed by the consignee, purchaser or their agent, Siemens cannot be held liable for repairs. Siemens will not be held liable for repairs in any case where repair work was performed prior to authorization from Siemens.
