information on the carrier’s paperwork and request a freight claim and inspection by a claims
adjuster before proceeding. Any other visual damage to the packaging materials should also
be made clear to the delivering carrier.

packaging materials

damage not indicated by the Tip-N-Tell indicator. The freight carrier should be notified
immediately if any damage is detected.

the unit’s shipping container or are factory installed on the unit:
