NPACKING

IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE 

All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed 
responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a 
claim must be made with the delivering carrier. 

Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be 
signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier 
can supply the necessary forms. 

A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss that is not 
apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all 
contents plus all packing material. 

Do the following: 

1.  Cut the banding straps and remove the corrugated cardboard surrounding the range. If legs were shipped in 

the same container, set them aside for installation in later steps of this procedure. Do not remove any tags or 
labels attached to the range until the range is installed and working properly. 

2.  Lift the flue riser off the front of the skid (see Figure 3) and set it aside for installation later in this procedure. 
3.  Pull the shelf assembly out from under the base and set it aside for installation later in this procedure. 
4.  Unbolt the shipping hold-down brackets from the skid, then remove the brackets from the range. 
5.  If the range is to be installed on legs, go to Step 2a. 

If the range is to be installed on casters, go to Step 2b.
