American Dryer Corp. AD-385 - Manual (Page 7)

SECTION I
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A. RECEIVING and HANDLING
The dryer is shipped in a protective stretch wrap cover with protective cardboard comers and top
cover (or optional box) as a means of preventing damage in transit. Upon delivery, the dryer
and/or packaging, and wooden skid should be visually inspected for shipping damage. If any
damage whatsoever is noticed, inspect further before delivering carrier leaves.
Dryers damaged in shipment.
1. ALL dryers should be inspected upon receipt and before they are signed for.
2. If there is suspected damage or actual damage, the trucker's receipt should be so noted.
3. If the dryer is damaged beyond repair, it should be refused. Those dryers which were not
damaged in a damaged shipment should be accepted, but the number received and the
number refused
must be noted on the receipt.
4. If you determine that the dryer was damaged after the trucker has left your location, you
should call the delivering carrier's freight terminal immediately and file a claim. The freight
company considers this concealed damage. This type of freight claim is very difficult to get
paid and becomes extremely difficult when more than a day or two passes after the freight was
delivered. It is your responsibility to file freight claims. Dryer/parts damaged in transit
cannot be claimed under warranty
5. Freight claims are the responsibility of the consignee, and ALL claims must he filed at the
receiving end. ADC assumes no responsibility for freight claims or damages.
6. If you need assistance in handling the situation, please contact the ADC Traffic Manager at
(508) 678-9000.
IMPORTANT; The dryer must he transported and handled in an upright position at all
times.
