Equipment Packages
Every package leaving the factory is plainly marked with the
shop order number, requisition number, and customer's order
number. If the equipment has been split for shipment, the
section numbers of the equipment enclosed in each shipping
package are identified.
NOTE: To avoid the loss of any parts when unpacking,
the contents of each container should be carefully checked
against the packing list before discarding the packing
material.
NOTE: Le contenu de chaque conteneur devrait être
soigneusement vérifié avec la liste d’emballage avant de
décharger le matériel empaqueté, ceci dans le but d’éviter
la perte de pièces lors du déballage.
The contents of each shipping package are listed on the
Master Packing List. In addition, this list includes the
number of the shipping crate in which miscellaneous parts
needed to install and operate the equipment (such as
hardware, contact lubricant, touch-up paint, breaker closing
devices, etc.) are located. Normally, such devices are packed
in a cardboard carton and the carton secured in an empty
switchgear compartment. See Fig. 2-1. If such items are
packed in a switchgear section instead of a separate crate,
the list will indicate the appropriate section number in which
they are stored. Large items (such as hoist dollies and hoist
carriages used with indoor equipment) will always be shipped
in separate crates or cartons. See Fig. 2-2.
Inspecting for Damage
All equipment leaving the factory is carefully inspected and
packed by personnel experienced in the proper handling and
packing of electrical equipment. Upon receipt of any
equipment, immediately perform a visual inspection to
ascertain if any damage has been sustained in shipping or if
there are any loose parts.
Circuit breakers may be shipped separately in individual
containers with the breaker in the open position. Circuit
breakers should be unpacked and visually inspected for
damage or loose parts as soon as possible after they have
been received.
Be sure to inspect all devices mounted or packed inside
compartments of each section to see if any have been
dislodged or damaged.
Filing a Claim
If any damage is evident, or indication of rough handling is
visible, file a claim for damage at once with the
transportation company and notify the nearest General
Electric Company Sales Office immediately. Information on
damaged parts, part number, case number, requisition
number, etc., should accompany the claim.
