Shipping Instructions

pay return shipping if the unit is still under warranty. In all cases, the customer pays
transportation charges to the factory (which are usually quite nominal).
Use the original packing material if it is available. If it is not, use a sturdy, double-
walled carton no smaller than 7 (H) x 15.5 (D) x 22 (W)  18 cm (H) x 40 cm (D) x
56 cm (W), with a minimum bursting test rating of 200 pounds (91 kg). Place the
chassis in a plastic bag (or wrap it in plastic) to protect the finish, then pack it in the
carton with at least 1.5 inches (4 cm) of cushioning on all sides of the unit. "Bubble"
packing sheets, thick fiber blankets, and the like are acceptable cushioning materi-
als; foam "popcorn" and crumpled newspaper are not. Wrap cushioning materials
tightly around the unit and tape them in place to prevent the unit from shifting out
of its packing.
Close the carton without sealing it and shake it vigorously. If you can hear or feel
the unit move, use more packing. Seal the carton with 3-inch (8 cm) reinforced fi-
berglass or polyester sealing tape, top and bottom in an "H" pattern. Narrower or
parcel-post type tapes will not withstand the stresses applied to commercial ship-
ments.
Mark the package with the name of the shipper, and with these words in red:
Insure the package properly. Ship prepaid, not collect. Do not ship parcel post. Your
Return Authorization Number must be shown on the label, or the package will
not be accepted.
