SECTION 2 – RECEIVING AND UNPACKING
At delivery, examine the exterior for physical damage while the carrier's representative is
present. If exterior damage is present, carefully unpack and inspect the unit and all accessories
for damage. If there is no exterior damage, unpack and inspect the equipment within five days of
delivery. If you find any damage, keep the packing materials and immediately report the
damage to the carrier. Do not return goods to Thermo Scientific without written authorization.
When submitting a claim for shipping damage request that the carrier inspect the shipping
container and equipment.
RECEIVING
Note: Do not discard the sublids from chest-style units. The sublids are necessary to maintain
correct temperature, moisture control, and economy of operation.
UNPACKING
The tools necessary for unpacking are:
Hammer
Small pinch bar
Nail puller (handy but not required)
Side cutting pliers
CAUTION: Do not tip the unit over or stand it on end. Call the factory first for specific
instructions if unit absolutely must be tipped on end.
There are two Tiltwatch Labels affixed to the end of the freezer packaging. The center of these
labels has a small round window which turns bright red to signal mishandling of the product.
1. When shipment is received note the color of the indicators.
2. If either label has been activated, note on the delivery receipt which packages show a red
label and request the carrier's driver to sign the receipt acknowledging that the label was
activated.
3. Before turning over the receipt to the driver, uncrate the unit and, if there is internal
damage, please note the fact on the delivery receipt. At this time you may refuse the
shipment.
4. The shipment will be removed by the carrier and returned to the warehouse. It is
recommended at this point that you call the manufacturer and advise of the condition of
the shipment.
5. After the protective packaging has been removed from the freezer, it will be left standing
on the shipping base with foam pads between the freezer and the shipping base.
6. To remove the freezer from the base, it is recommended hat a fork truck be used.
7. Slide the forks under the freezer from the front and at the center.
