RECEIVING
When you receive your bending brake, check immediately for obvious damage,
which may have occurred during transit, to the skidding material or to the brake
itself. Also check to see that all material listed on the bill of lading is present.
Since Roper Whitney equipment is normally sold F.O.B., factory in Rockford, IL,
our responsibility for transit damage ceases when the transportation company
signs the bill of lading indicating it has received the items listed in good condition.
Report discovered damage or shortages to the carrier. Make a notation on the
delivery waybill, and have the delivering driver sign it, acknowledging the damage
or shortage.
Submit claims for repair or replacement to the carrier; include any extra shipping
charges. Notify Roper Whitney Company promptly of any damage or shortages.
If you discover concealed damages or shortages after the carrier has departed, you
may still file a claim for concealed damage. This should be done as quickly as
possible. Again, notify Roper Whitney Company promptly of such damages or
shortages.
The brake is shipped on a skid of 3" x 6" wood timbers. It is secured to this skid
with four (4) carriage bolts, which should remain secured while the machine is
unloaded and moved about. The skid and brake may be moved using a suitable fork
lift.
UNPACKING
The two counterweight arms (rods) and their counterweights are mounted
separately on the wooden skid for shipment. Remove these from the skit and set
to one side.
