Unloading, Unpacking And Inspecting A New Dispenser - Bennett 3000 Series Installation & Operator's Manual

Unloading, Unpacking, and Inspecting a New Dispenser
Bennett dispensers are bolted to a pallet and then carefully packaged with cardboard/styrofoam liners
and a cardboard exterior carton. The entire package is then securely wrapped with plastic shrink wrap.
Use a fork lift to lift the dispenser from the bottom while it is still on the pallet.
Bennett dispensers are shipped from our factory F.O.B. This means that the title to the equipment
passes to the purchaser at the time the equipment is loaded on the truck at our factory. Freight damage
claims are the responsibility of the purchaser. Bennett will assist you in preparing any damage claim,
by helping you identify and price any parts necessary to make needed repairs.
Before signing the freight delivery receipt, inspect the carton and pallet for any obvious signs of damage
that may have damaged the dispenser. If any damage is found, instruct the delivery driver to make a
notation on the delivery receipt before you sign. If possible, open the carton and inspect the dispenser
before signing the delivery receipt.
Carefully remove the plastic shrink-wrap from the carton. Then carefully remove the cardboard
container and any inside liners. DO NOT DISCARD THE PACKAGING. Should the need arise to
repackage the dispenser, the cardboard packaging can be reused. Plastic shrink-wrap can be
purchased at office supply stores or industrial packaging stores.
Examine the exterior panels for any signs of freight damage. Should you encounter any damage after
signing for delivery, call the freight carrier immediately and request an inspection. DO NOT DISCARD
THE PACKAGING; the inspector will want to examine it.
Once you are sure that there is no freight damage to the exterior of the dispenser, use the door key (one
key is wire tied to the nozzle hook) to unlock the lower door. Remove the lower door from both sides of
the dispenser. Visually examine the interior of the dispenser for shipping damage. While the dispenser
is extremely sturdy, a dispenser that has been "dropped" can suffer damage internally even while it
appears normal on the exterior. Check for and tighten any bolts or nuts that appear loose.
Read the model/serial plate of the dispenser and check to confirm that the hydraulic configuration is
what your order specified.
