4. Inspection
Receiving Inspection
Carefully inspect the shipment as soon as it is received. Verify that the quantity of parts or packages
actually received corresponds to the quantity shown on the packing slip. Any discrepancies should be
clarified immediately. Please remember that any damage or missing parts must be noted on the bill of
lading at the time of delivery. Report any damage or shortage to the delivering carrier as soon as possible.
GSI’s responsibility for damage to the equipment ends with acceptance by the delivering carrier.
Save all paperwork and documentation furnished with any of the en-masse conveyor components.
Pre-Installation Preparation
Familiarize yourself thoroughly with this manual and all the conveyor parts. Read the Operator’s manual
and all safety signs before using or servicing equipment. Taking the time to do so will aid in the assembly
of the conveyor.
Remove all banding and crating material. Arrange the conveyor components so that they are
easily accessible.
Locate sturdy items to serve as blocking. (i.e. wood blocks, saw horses, etc.) Blocking is used to support
the conveyor sections above the ground to help in assembly. Locate and place the conveyor sections
on the blocking in order, starting with the head section and concluding with the tail section.
