3.4 Transportation

The inverter is thoroughly tested and inspected strictly before delivery. Our inverters

leave our factory in proper electrical and mechanical condition. Special packaging

ensures safe and careful transportation. However, transport damage may still occur.

The shipping company is responsible in such cases. Thoroughly inspect the inverter

upon delivery. Immediately notify the responsible shipping company if you discover

any damage to the packaging which indicates that the inverter may have been

damaged or if you discover any visible damage to the inverter. We will be glad to

assist you, if required. When transporting the inverter, the original or equivalent

packaging should to be used, and the maximum layers for original carton is four, as

this ensures safe transport.
