Unpacking and Inspection
Lifting the AccuPyc
The AccuPyc II 1340 can be lifted by one person using two hands placed on opposite 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 equip-
ment actually received and check the equipment for any damage during shipment. Be sure to
sift through all packing materials before declaring equipment missing.
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 discover 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 order. 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 equipment to Micromeritics for repair or replacement, please follow the
steps below:
1. Pack the instrument in its original shipping carton if possible. If the original carton is
unavailable, for a nominal fee, Micromeritics can provide another carton for your use.
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.
Failure to package your instrument properly may result in shipping damage.
