The concentrator should ALWAYS be kept in the upright position to prevent damage
while being transported. The Optium packaging has been designed to assure maximum
protection of the concentrator.
The carrier accepted this merchandise "in good condition" and is responsible for safe
delivery. Before signing the freight bill, inspect the shipment carefully for damage or
missing pieces.
apparent loss or damage
Should visual inspection show loss or damage, this MUST be noted on the freight bill and
signed by the carrier's agent. Failure to do so may result in the carrier failing to honor
the claim. Please contact the carrier to obtain the paperwork necessary to file a claim or
contact Graham-Field Customer Service at the number on the back cover.
Concealed loss or damage
If damage is discovered after delivery is made, a concealed damage claim must be en-
tered with the freight carrier. When this occurs, make a written request to the carrier for
inspection. This request for inspection must be made within 15 days of delivery. The car-
rier will provide all paperwork necessary to file a concealed damage or loss claim, since
such damage or loss is the carrier's responsibility.
