Packing and Shipping Instruments for Repair

Please regard the following instructions when packing your instrument to return it to
HunterLab for repair. Proper packing is crucial. These instructions do not replace the
recommended professional packaging for your instrument, but may assist in eliminating the
need for a shipment claim due to faulty packaging. Purchasing freight insurance does not
guarantee a successful damaged shipment claim if the carrier determines the instrument was
not packaged properly.
o
All instrument tiles, the didymium filter (if included), black glass or light trap, power
supply, power cords, and cables for the instrument should be included in your
shipment. Your repair estimate will be delayed if the instrument tiles are shipped
separately later.
o
Remove the sample clamp (if you have one) from the instrument before packing.
o
Cover the measurement port. If applicable, also cover the transmission port and
tape the transmission compartment door closed. Do not use duct tape. "Painter's
tape" is preferred, as it will not leave residue on the instrument.
o
Insert the instrument into an anti-static or plastic bag prior to placing it in the
carton. The bag will aid in keeping packing material out of the instrument.
o
Place the bag-wrapped instrument into a new carton which includes, at a minimum,
6 inches of packing material (preferably foam) around the instrument. Styrofoam
peanuts should not be used as packing material for instruments, as they can suspend
items weighing only up to 5 pounds. Observe the information listed on the bottom
