RECEIVING AND HANDLING
ACCEPTANCE
Thoroughly inspect this equipment before
accepting shipment from the transportation
company. If any of thegoods called for in the
bill of lading or express receipt are damaged or
the quantity is short, do not accept them until the
freight or express agent makes an appropriate
notation on your freight bill or express receipt.
If any concealed loss or damage is discovered
later, notify your freight or express agent at once
and request him to make an inspection. We will
assist you in collecting claims for loss or damage
in shipment; however, this willingness on our part
does not remove the transportation company's
responsibility in reimbursing you for collection of
claims or replacement of material. Claims for loss
or damage in shipment must not be deducted
from the Reliance Electric invoice, nor should
payment of the Reliance Electric invoice, be
withheld awaiting adjustment of such claims, as
the carrier guarantees safe delivery.
If considerable damage has been incurred and
the situation is urgent, contact the nearest
Reliance Electric Sales Office for assistance.
Please keep a written record of all such
communications.

The motor should be checked for oil leaks after
being removed from the crate. If positive
indication of an oil leak is found around the shaft
seal or drive end bracket, notify the nearest
Reliance Electric Sales Office.
