Transport & Shipping
To package the instrument for shipping:
Step Notes
1.
Place the instrument in its original packaging
materials.
•
If the original packaging materials are not available,
use a professional packaging service. Contact your
Agilent Service Center for more information.
2.
Surround the instrument with at least 3 to 4 inches (8
to 10 cm) of its original packing material or bubble-pack
to prevent the instrument from moving in its shipping
container.
3.
After wrapping it with packing material, place the
instrument in its original shipping container or a strong
shipping container that is made of double-walled
corrugated cardboard with 159 kg (350 lb) bursting
strength.
•
The shipping container must be large and strong
enough to accommodate your instrument and allow at
least 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) on all sides for packing
material.
4.
Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon
adhesive tape.
5.
Mark the shipping container “FRAGILE, HANDLE
WITH CARE” to help ensure careful handling.
6.
Use the address obtained from your Agilent
Technologies Service Center.
7.
Retain copies of all shipping papers.
CAUTION:
Damage can result if the original packaging materials are not used. Packaging materials should be
anti-static and cushion the instrument on all sides. NEVER USE STYRENE PELLETS IN ANY SHAPE AS
PACKAGING MATERIALS. They do not adequately cushion the instrument or prevent it from moving in the
shipping container. Styrene pellets can also cause equipment damage by generating static electricity or by lodging
in fan motors.
