1.2.7 Reshipment Preparation
If it is necessary to return the instrument to the factory, protect it during reshipment using the best pack-
aging materials available. If possible, reuse the original shipping container. If the original shipping con-
tainer is not available, use a strong carton (350lbs./ sq.in. bursting strength) or a wooden box. Wrap the
instrument in heavy paper or plastic before placing it into the shipping container. Completely fill the
areas on all sides of the instrument with packaging material. Take extra precaution to protect the front
and rear panels. Seal the package with strong tape or metal bands. Mark the outside of the package as fol-

the model and serial number. If the instrument is being returned for repair, be sure to enclose all relevant
information regarding the problem that has been found.
