It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all required support services are
available, and that all necessary checks are made prior to installing the test
system.These services and checks are described below.
Proper site preparation is imperative so that the test system operates in
accordance with its specifications and provides accurate test results. The
customer must ensure that the site requirements are satisfied prior to scheduling
the installation appointment.
Unless specifically arranged otherwise, it is the customer's responsibility to
arrange the off-loading, unpacking and moving of the test system to the final site
location. For details on handling and transporting your system to its final
location, see "Lift and Move Instructions"
Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can supervise the off-
loading and transportation of the load frame to its final site. Contact the MTS
Service department or your local MTS office for additional information on this
service.
It is the customer's responsibility to provide slings and hoist rings. Slings and
hoist rings must conform to local codes and regulations and be sized correctly to
support the weight of the load frame. Weights and thread sizes are provided in
this manual.
Under MTS' standard contract, the shipping terms are Ex-Works (or FOB
Factory), meaning ownership and liability for the test system transfers to the
customer at MTS' loading dock. Unless other shipping terms are specified in a
purchase order, which MTS does not dispute, the Ex-Works shipping terms
apply. Under these terms, the customer is responsible for securing the applicable
transit insurance on the shipment and arranging safe transport to the final
destination. Arrangements can be made through MTS to secure insurance
coverage and shipping, at the customer's expense.
When transporting a load frame within your own premises, you are responsible
for its safe transport. Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can
supervise the transportation to the load frame's final site. Contact the MTS
Service department or your local MTS office for additional information on this
service.
