Chapter 2
Receiving and Handling
Receiving Before leaving the factory, the contactors have been tested both mechanically and
electrically. Immediately upon receiving the contactor, remove the packing ma-
terial and check the contactor for possible shipping damage. If damage is found,
do not discard any of the packaging material and, if possible, note the damage on
the Bill of Lading before accepting receipt of the shipment. Report any damage
immediately to the claims oce of the common carrier. Provide a description of
the damage and as much identication as possible.
