4.2 Unpacking
The FLEX and its associated equipment are carefully inspected at the factory prior to shipment to
ensure quality compliance. Customer should visually inspect the goods on arrival and report
any irregularities or damage to the carrier immediately.
The condition of the skid and covering is indicative of the way the shipment was handled.
Broken skids, torn covering, bent hold-down bolts, broken straps, etc., indicate rough handling.
The protective covers on the FLEX nozzles should be in place and undamaged.
Take care when removing crating, coverings, and strapping in order not to damage any
equipment and/or the FLEX’s finish.
Inspect all crates, boxes, or wrappings for any accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to the side wall of the box or equipment.
Each FLEX has a unique serial number. Check that this number corresponds with that advised
and always refer to this number in correspondence as well as when ordering spare parts or
further accessories.
