It is the responsibility of the receiver of the goods, either the Distributor or Customer, to ensure that the product
has been shipped in full and has arrived in suitable condition. Damage to the product may not be visible at time of

Some areas to initially check are as follows:
a) Check for damage to the crating and/or packaging.
b) Check for damage to the Beltguard.
c) If the BeltGuard appears damaged, remove the Guard and turn the Flywheel by hand to ensure the
Crankshaft has not been bent, and the Belt drive is properly aligned and free of distortion.
d) Check the Air Tank thoroughly for possible damage.

damage to the product.

transport company immediately to file a claim.
Depending on the problem, it may be wise to photograph the damage. Also, it may
be wise to discuss with the carrier representative the time allotted to give notice of loss
or damage to the product; there may be guidelines which limit timeframes of same.

any packing material used.
