Unpacking

Before each ACE-315 left the factory, it was carefully
inspected for physical imperfections as a routine part of
ADCOMs systematic quality control. This, along with full
operational and mechanical testing, should insure a
product flawless in both appearance and performance.
After you have unpacked the ACE-31 5. inspect it for
physical damage. Save the shipping carton and all
packing materials, as they are intended to minimize the
possibility of transportation damage, should the product
ever need to be shipped again. In the unlikely event
damage has occurred, notify your dealer immediately and
request the name of the carrier so that a written claim to
cover the damage can be initiated.

The right to any claim against a public carrier can be
forfeited if the carrier is not notified promptly in writing and
if the shipping carton and packing materials are not

available for inspection. Save all packing materials until
the claim has been settled.
