Packing and Shipping Instruments for Repair
Please regard the following instructions when packing your instrument to return it to
HunterLab for repair.
Proper packing is crucial. These instructions do not replace the
recommended professional packaging for your instrument, but may assist in eliminating the
need for a shipment claim due to faulty packaging. Purchasing freight insurance does not
guarantee a successful damaged shipment claim if the carrier determines the instrument was
not packaged properly.
•
All instrument tiles, the didymium filter (if included), black glass or light trap, power supply,
power cords, and cables for the instrument should be included in your shipment.
Your
repair estimate will be delayed if the instrument tiles are shipped separately later.
•
Remove the sample clamp (if you have one) from the instrument before packing.
•
Cover the measurement port. If applicable, also cover the transmission port and tape the
transmission compartment door closed.
Do not use duct tape. “Painter’s tape” is
preferred, as it will not leave residue on the instrument.
•
Insert the instrument into an anti-static or plastic bag prior to placing it in the carton. The
bag will aid in keeping packing material out of the instrument.
