RECEIVING AND INSPECTION 
Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all 
items are accounted for by referencing the Bill of Lading 
to ensure all items were received. Inspect each carton 
for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify 
the freight carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier 
will make notification on the delivery receipt 
acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage 
should be noted on all copies of the Bill of Lading which 
is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier 
Inspection Report should be filled out by the carrier 
upon arrival and a report given to the Traffic 
Department. If damaged upon arrival, file a claim 
immediately with the carrier. Any physical damage to 
the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of 
Mars Air Systems. 
UNPACKING 
Verify that all parts, components and accessories, and 
the correct quantities of each have been received. If 
any items are missing, report shortages to Mars Air 
Systems directly to arrange for obtaining the missing 
items. Again, verify quantities received against those 
on the Bill of Lading only, as multiple shipments may be 
involved.
