Receiving and Handling
Upon receiving heater, check for both obvious and
hidden damage. Check all insulators for breakage and
inspect heater element wire(s) for any deformation
or damage that could cause a sort circuit to
ground. Make sure all fasteners are tight. Electrical
connections such as pressure terminals should be
checked for tightness. If damage is found, record all
necessary information on the bill of lading and file
a claim with the final carrier. Check to be sure that
all parts of the shipment, including accessories, are
accounted for.
Heaters must be kept dry and clean. Indoor storage
and protection from dirt, dust and the weather is
highly recommended. Do not store at temperatures in
excess of 100°F (38°C).
