3. Any visible damage must be noted on the
delivery receipt and acknowledged with
the driver's signature. The damage should
be detailed as much as possible. It is
essential that a notation "possible internal
damage, subject to inspection" be
included on the delivery receipt. If the
driver will not sign the delivery receipt
with the damage noted, the shipment
should not be signed for by the consignee
or their agent.
4. Notify Siemens medium-voltage customer
service immediately of any damage, at +1
(800) 347-6659 or +1 (919) 365-2200
outside the U.S.
5. Arrange for a carrier inspection of the
damage immediately.
Important: Do not move the equipment from
the place it was set when unloading. Also, do
not remove or disturb packaging or wrapping
material prior to carrier damage inspection.
Equipment must be inspected by carrier prior
to handling after receipt. This eliminates loss
due to claims by carrier that the equipment
was damaged or further damaged on site
after unloading.
6. Be sure the equipment is properly
protected from any further damage by
covering it properly after unloading.
7. If practical, make further inspection for
possible concealed damage while the
carrier's inspector is on site. If inspection
for concealed damage is not practical at
the time the carrier's inspector is present,
it must be done within 15 days of receipt
of the equipment. If concealed damage is
found, the carrier must again be notified
and inspection made prior to taking any
corrective action to repair. Also notify
Siemens immediately at +1 (800) 347-
6659 or +1 (919) 365-2200 outside the
U.S.
8. Obtain the original carrier inspection
report and forward it with a copy of the
noted delivery receipt to Siemens.
Approval must be obtained by Siemens
from the carrier before any repair work
can be performed.
Before approval can be obtained, Siemens
must have the documents referenced in
the paragraph above. The carrier
inspection report and/or driver's signature
on the delivery receipt does not constitute
approval to repair.
Note: Shipments are not released from the
factory without a clear bill of lading.
Approved methods are employed for
preparation, loading, blocking and tarping of
the equipment before it leaves the Siemens
factory. Any determination as to whether the
equipment was properly loaded or properly
prepared by shipper for over-the-road travel
cannot be made at the destination. f the
equipment is received in a damaged
condition, this damage to the equipment has
to have occurred while en route due to
conditions beyond Siemens' control. If the
procedure outlined above is not followed by
the consignee, purchaser or their agent,
Siemens cannot be held liable for repairs.
Siemens will not be held liable for repairs in
any case where repair work was performed
prior to authorization from Siemens.
Handling procedure
1. Carefully remove the shipping carton from
the circuit breaker. Keep the shipping
pallet for later use if the circuit breaker is
to be stored prior to its installation.
2. Inspect for concealed damage.
Notification to carrier must take place
within 15 days to assure prompt claim
resolution.
3. Each circuit breaker should be lifted
appropriately to avoid crushing the side
panels of the circuit breaker, or damaging
the primary disconnect assemblies.
Type GMSG vacuum circuit breakers weigh
between 430 and 930 lbs (195-422 kg),
plus an additional 75 lbs (34 kg) for the
pallet and packaging.
4. The palleted circuit breaker can be moved
using a properly rated fork-lift vehicle. The
pallets are designed for movement by a
standard fork-lift vehicle.
