Receiving Inspection
After removing your Minuteman UPS from its carton, it should be inspected for damage that
may have occurred in shipping. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any
damage is found. Warranty claims for damage caused by the carrier will not be honored.
The packing materials that your UPS was shipped in are carefully designed to minimize
any shipping damage. In the unlikely case that the UPS needs to be returned to Minute-
man, please use the original packing material. Since Minuteman is not responsible for
shipping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing material is
inexpensive insurance.
