Returning the Instrument for Service

rugated cardboard carton of 159 kg (350 lb) test strength.

• The carton must be large enough to allow approximately 7 cm (3 inches) on

all sides of the instrument for packing material, and strong enough to accom-

modate the weight of the instrument.

• Surround the equipment with approximately 7 cm (3 inches) of packing ma-

terial, to protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in the carton. If

packing foam is not available, the best alternative is S.D-240 Air Cap™ from

Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce, California 90001). Air Cap looks like a

plastic sheet filled with air bubbles. Use the pink (antistatic) Air Cap™ to

reduce static electricity. Wrapping the instrument several times in this ma-

terial will protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in the carton.

Seal the carton with strong nylon adhesive tape.

Mark the carton “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE”.

Retain copies of all shipping papers.
