SHIPPING
INSTRUCTIONS
YOUR
RETURN
AUTHORIZATION
NUMBER
MUST
BE
SHOWN ON
THE
LABEL,
OR
THE
PACKAGE
WILL
NOT
BE
ACCEPTED!
If
the
original
packing material
is
available,
it
should be used. Otherwise, use
a
carton
of at least
200 pounds
bursting
test
and no smaller than
22"w
x
5"h
x
12"d.
The
275A
should
be
packed
so
that there
is
at least
1-1/2"
of
packing material
protecting every
point.
A
plastic
wrap
around
the chassis
will
protect the
finish.
Cushioning material such
as
Air-Cap, Bubble-Pak,
foam
"popcorn", or fiber
blankets
are
acceptable. Folded newspaper
is
not
suitable.
Blanket-type materials
should be
tightly
wrapped
around
the
275A
and taped
in
place
to
prevent
the unit
from
shifting
out of
its
packing and contacting
the walls of the carton.
The
carton should be
packed
evenly and
fully
with the packing material
filling all
voids
such
that the unit
cannot
shift
in
the carton.
Test
for
this
by
closing but not sealing
the
carton and shaking
vigorously.
If
the
unit
can
be
felt
or
heard
to
move,
use
more
packing.
The
carton should be well-sealed with
3"
reinforced sealing tape applied across the top
and bottom
of the
carton
in
an
"H"
pattern.
Narrower
or
parcel-post type tapes
will
not stand the stresses applied
to
commercial
shipments.
The package
should
be
marked
with
the
name
of the shipper,
and with
these
words
in
red:
DELICATE INSTRUMENT,
FRAGILE!
Even
so,
the
freight
people
may
throw the
box around
as
if
it
were
filled
with
junk.
The
survival of the unit
depends almost
solely
on
the
care taken
in
packing!
