Equipment Packages
Every package leaving the factory is plainly marked with the case
number, requisition number, and customer's order number. If the
equipment has been split for shipment, the section numbers of the
equipment enclosed in each shipping package are identified.
NOTE: To avoid the loss of any parts when unpacking, the contents
of each container should be carefully checked against the packing
list before discarding the packing material.
NOTE: Le contenu de chaque conteneur devrait être
soigneusement vérifié avec la liste d’emballage avant de
décharger le matériel empaqueté, ceci dans le but d’éviter la perte
de pièces lors du déballage.
The contents of each shipping package are listed on the Master
Packing List. In addition, this list includes the number of the shipping
crate in which miscellaneous parts needed to install and operate the
equipment (such as hardware, contact lubricant, touch-up paint,
breaker closing devices, etc.) are located. Normally, such devices are
packed in a cardboard carton and the carton secured in an empty
switchgear compartment. See Fig. 2-1. If such items are packed in a
switchgear section instead of a separate crate, the list will indicate
the appropriate section number in which they are stored. Large items
(such as hoist dollies and hoist carriages used with indoor equipment)
will always be shipped in separate crates or cartons. See Fig. 2-2.
Inspecting for Damage
All equipment leaving the factory is carefully inspected and packed by
personnel experienced in the proper handling and packing of
electrical equipment. Upon receipt of any equipment, immediately
perform a visual inspection to ascertain if any damage has been
sustained in shipping or if there are any loose parts.
Circuit breakers may be shipped separately in individual containers
with the breaker in the open position. Circuit breakers should be
unpacked and visually inspected for damage or loose parts as soon
as possible after they have been received.
Be sure to inspect all devices mounted or packed inside
compartments of each section to see if any have been dislodged or
damaged.
Filing a Claim
If any damage is evident, or indication of rough handling is visible, file
a claim for damage at once with the transportation company and
notify the nearest General Electric Company Sales Office immediately.
Information on damaged parts, part number, case number,
requisition number, etc., should accompany the claim.
