Repackaging for Shipment
5 - 76
We recommend that you save the original carton and packing ma-
terial, in case you must return your instrument for repair or serv-
ice.
If
the original packaging is unfit for use or is not available,
then repackage the instrument in the following manner:
Step
1.
Use a corrugated cardboard shipping carton having
inside dimensions at least 15 cm (6 in) taller, wider and
deeper than the instrument. The carton must be con-
structed of cardboard with a test strength of at least 375
pounds.
Step 2.
If
the instrument is being shipped to a Tektronix Service
Center for repair or calibration, attach a tag to the instru-
ment showing:
The owner of the instrument and address.
- The name and phone number of a person to be
contacted if additional information is needed.
Instrument type and serial number.
The reason for returning the instrument.
- A complete description of the service required.
Step 3. Wrap the instrument with polyethylene sheeting or
equivalent material to protect the outside finish of the
instrument.
Step
4.
Cushion the instrument in the shipping carton by tightly
packing dunnage or urethane foam on all sides between
the carton and the instrument. Allow for 7.5 cm (3 in) of
padding on all sides (including top and bottom).
Step 5. Seal the carton with strapping tape or with an industrial
stapler.
Step 6. Mark the address of the Tektronix Service Center and
your return address on the carton in one or more
prominent locations.
