Upon receiving your OMI air dryer, please inspect the unit closely. If rough handling is detected, please note it on your delivery receipt,
especially if the dryer will not be uncrated immediately. Then obtain the freight carrier's signed agreement to any noted damages: this
is a precondition for any insurance claims by the customer.
It is mandatory to keep the dryer always in vertical position, as indicated by the symbols present on the packaging. For handling, use
devices having sufficient capacity for the weight of the machine.
Remove the packaging after having positioned the dryer in the installation site. For unpacking, refer to section 2.3.
Under no circumstances should any person attempt to lift heavy objects without proper lifting equipment (i.e., crane, hoist, slings or fork
truck). Lifting any unit without proper lifting equipment, may cause serious injury. Use fork lift channels where provided.
