Receiving, handling
and storage
Receiving
Each type SDV7-AR distribution circuit breaker
is securely blocked and braced for shipment.
It is crated, boxed or covered as required by
shipping conditions. If special handling is
required, it is so indicated. Relatively delicate
instruments, protective relays and other
devices are included, and the type SDV7-AR
distribution circuit breaker must be handled
carefully when unloading.
Inspection and unpacking
Inspect the equipment as soon as possible
after receipt for any damage that may have
occurred in transit. Before unpacking,
examine the package itself, as a damaged
package may indicate damage to the contents
of the package. Be careful when unpacking
equipment. The use of sledge hammers and
crowbars may damage the finish, or the
equipment itself. Use nail pullers. After
unpacking, examine equipment for any
possible damage. Check the shipping
manifest to be certain that all items have
been received.
Note: If there is a shortage, make certain it is
noted on the freight bill and contact the
carrier immediately. Notify Siemens medium-
voltage customer service at +1 (800) 347-
6659 (+1 (919) 365-2200 outside the U.S.) of
any shortage or damage.
Shipping damage claims
Important: The manner in which visible
shipping damage is identified by consignee
prior to signing the delivery receipt can
determine the outcome of any damage claim
to be filed.
Notification to carrier within 15 days for
concealed damage is essential if loss resulting
from unsettled claims is to be eliminated or
minimized.
1. When shipment arrives, note whether
equipment is properly protected from the
elements. Note trailer number on which
the equipment arrived. Note blocking of
equipment. During unloading, make sure
to count the actual items unloaded to
verify the contents as shown on the
delivery receipt.
2. Make immediate inspection for visible
damage upon arrival and prior to
disturbing or removing packaging or
wrapping material. This should be done
prior to unloading when possible. When
total inspection cannot be made on
vehicle prior to unloading, close
inspection during unloading must be
performed and visible damage noted on
the delivery receipt. Take pictures if
po ssible.
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 (800) 347-6659 or +1
(919) 365-2200 outside the U.S.
5. Arrange for a carrier inspection of damage
immediately.
