Siemens Type Vector E50001-F710-A420-X-4A00 - Manual (Page 9)

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.
