395411000: Rev. 5 13 of 14 Pre-installation Instructions
When the LC/MS Arrives
Inspecting the Shipping Cartons
After the LC/MS arrives, carefully inspect the
exterior of the shipping cartons for evidence of
any damage that might have occurred during
shipment. Inspect the cartons for the following:
• Water stains.
• Cuts, punctures, or deep indentations.
• Crushed corners or excessively abraded
edges.
• Blue beads in the Tip (N) Tell arrow point.
One Tip (N) Tell indicator label is on the exterior
of each shipping carton. Read and follow the
instructions on the label. If the Tip (N) Tell arrow
point is blue, the carton was on its side or tipped
in transit and instrument damage may have
occurred.
If no external damage is apparent, sign the receiving documents, “Received but not inspected”
to indicate that the cartons were not opened.
If the customer receive obviously damaged materials without noting the damage on the
receiving documents, Varian will not accept the liability
Do not open any shipping cartons. The Varian Representative opens them during
installation. Move the shipping cartons to a warm, dry, and secure area near the
installation site.
If a shipping carton shows evidence of damage, do the following procedure:
1. Report the conditions to the carrier when you receive the shipment.
2. Note the damage on all copies of the shipping documents.
3. Write a brief description of the damage.
4. Ask driver to sign next to your comments to signify agreement with the observations.
5. Contact the appropriate Varian office to report the damage.
Systems are shipped either FOB Varian or FOB Destination. The manner of shipment
determines who is responsible for filing a claim against the carrier if the system was damaged
in transit. Most systems are shipped FOB Varian, so any damages incurred in shipment are the
responsibility of the purchaser and the carrier. Contact the Varian office for assistance with filing
claims and billing repairs. If the system ships FOB Destination, contact the Varian office, and
that office files a claim against the carrier.

Check the checklist box: Shipping cartons inspected for damage. If there was any
damage, the damaged shipping carton procedure was completed.
