The packing materials that your RPM was shipped in are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage. In the unlikely case that the RPM needs to be returned to MINUTEMAN, please use the original packing material. Since MINUTEMAN is not responsible for shipping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing material is inexpensive insurance.
