200.3 How Your Equipment Is Shipped
It is Farr's goal to ship our products as economically and practically as possible. In order to save our
customers shipping costs, it is our goal to load your collector on as few trucks as necessary. The number
and size of trucks required to transport your collector will depend solely on the size of your unit. The
trucks are loaded to minimize damage to the collector while loading, shipping, and unloading. Typically,
your collector will ship with the hopper, plenum, support structure, fan and other accessories
disassembled. These items will be loaded on the trucks separately and placed on pallets for easy
unloading. A fork-truck or crane may be needed to unload your collector depending on the size of the
unit. All assembly hardware will be located in a box that will be placed in the inlet of the plenum
section of your collector. A picture of a typical collector loaded on a flat bed trailer is shown in Figure

200.4 Uncrating and Inspection
Each Gold Series dust collector is normally shipped on two or more skids. One skid contains the filter
module section. A second skid contains the hopper section and other skids will contain fans, support legs,
safety monitoring filters, airlocks and custom accessories. Typically, the filter cartridges, control box
and any other user installed components are shipped inside the cartridge area of the bin-vent
section.
Use extreme care when handling the unit and components. Careless handling can damage delicate
parts or affect assembly alignments. Compare the number of items received against the carrier's Bill of
Lading. The project drawing has a listing of all loose components shipped with the job. A copy of this
drawing is included with this manual submittal and can also be found in the small parts box located in the
inlet of the collector. Inspect all items for apparent damage. Immediately report any shortages or
obvious damage to the carrier and to your local Farr Representative or call Farr at 1-800-479-6801.
When all skids are completely unpacked, check all items received against the material list on the project
drawing and or the packing list (if any) sent with the shipment. Further inspect the unit and components
for hidden damage. Again, report any shortages or damage to the carrier and to your local Farr
Representative.
Do not return any damaged components without first contacting your Farr Representative to
obtain Returned Goods Authorization (RGA). Carefully inspect all packing material so that small
parts are not inadvertently discarded.
200.5 Understand Your Serial Plate
Once you receive your equipment, it will be important to have the collector's part, model, and order
numbers. This information will be helpful when calling customer service or finding original equipment
supplied with the collector. This information should be found on a silver plate above the door on your
collector. You should write this information in this book for easy access. Here is what your serial plate will
show.
Part Number – This will link the unit to the prints and
engineering documents associated with your unit.
Model – This tells us what style unit you purchased.
Product – This information will identify what model of
Farr dust collector you own. Gold Series should be
printed in this area.
Serial Number – This number will provide all of the
same information (part numbers, size, and model) and
will also provide the sold to and ship to addresses. It will also provide all of the accessories sold with the
unit, and the best source of information for ordering replacement parts.
Ship Date – This will identify when and where the collector was manufactured and when it shipped. This
information will aid in tracking order information.
