Unpacking and Inspection
Lifting the Accupyc 1330
The Accupyc 1330 can be lifted by one person using two hands placed on op-
posite sides of the instrument. As always, proper lifting techniques should be
used to prevent injury.
Unpacking the Cartons
When you receive the shipping cartons, carefully compare the Packing List
with the equipment actually received and check the equipment for any dam-
age during shipment. Be sure to sift through all packing materials before de-
claring equipment missing.
If you need to declare equipment as damaged or lost, save the shipping
cartons. The claims investigator must examine the cartons in order to
complete the inspection report.
Equipment Damage or Loss During Shipment
If equipment is damaged or lost in transit, you are required to make note of
the damage or loss on the freight bill. The freight carrier, not Micromeritics,
is responsible for all damage or loss occurring during shipment. If you dis-
cover damage or loss of equipment during shipment, report the condition to
the carrier immediately.
Equipment Return
Micromeritics strives to ensure that all items arrive safely and in working or-
der. Occasionally, due to circumstances beyond our control, a customer may
receive equipment which is not in working order. When equipment has been
damaged (either during shipment or in use) and you wish to return the equip-
ment to Micromeritics for repair or replacement, please follow the steps be-
