Reveiving, Handling, And Storage; Receiving And Checking - ABB VM1 Installation And Service Instructions Manual

3. Receiving, handling, and storage
VM1/A/P circuit-breakers are subject to complete factory
production tests and inspection prior to packaging and
shipment. The shipping package is designed to provide
reasonable protection during shipment and to provide
convenient handling. Accessories such as opening handles
and racking handles are shipped separately from the circuit-
breaker.
The circuit-breaker is shipped in special packing, in the open
position.
Each piece of apparatus is protected by a plastic cover
to prevent any infiltration of water during the loading and
unloading stages and to keep the dust off during storage.

Immediately upon receipt of the circuit-breaker(s), examine
the carton(s) to determine if any damage or loss was
sustained during transit. If damage or indication of rough
handling is evident, file a damage claim at once with the
carrier and promptly notify the nearest district office. ABB
is not responsible for damage to goods which occur after
delivery. However, ABB will lend assistance if notified of
claims. Use care in unpacking the circuit-breaker to avoid
damaging any circuit-breaker parts.
Unpack circuit-breakers as soon as possible after receipt.
If unpacking is delayed, difficulty may be experienced in
making a claim for damages not evident upon receipt.
Check the contents of each carton against the packing list
before discarding any packing material. If any discrepancy
is discovered, promptly notify the nearest district office.
Information specifying the purchase order number, carton
number, and part numbers of damaged or missing parts
should accompany the claim.
