Factory Service
Before you return a product to the factory for service, refer to this manual. Make
sure you have correctly followed installation steps and operation procedures. If you
are still unable to solve a problem, contact our Customer Service for consultation.
Often, a problem is relatively simple and can be fixed quickly after telephone con-
sultation.
If you must return a product for factory service, please notify Customer Service by
telephone,
before you ship the product; this helps us to be prepared to service your
unit upon arrival. In addition, when you return a product to the factory for service,
please include a letter describing the problem.
Please refer to the terms of your Limited Standard Warranty, which extends to the
first end user. After expiration of the warranty, a reasonable charge will be made for
parts, labor, and packing if you choose to use the factory service facility. Returned
units will be returned C.O.D. if the unit is not under warranty. Orban will pay return
shipping if the unit is still under warranty. In all cases, the customer pays transporta-
tion charges to the factory (which are usually quite nominal).
Shipping Instructions
Use the original packing material if it is available. If it is not, use a sturdy, double-
walled carton no smaller than 9
″
(H) x 15.5
″
(D) x 22
″
(W)

23 cm (H) x 40 cm (D) x
56 cm (W), with a minimum bursting test rating of 200 pounds (91 kg). Place the
chassis in a plastic bag (or wrap it in plastic) to protect the finish, then pack it in the
carton with at least 1.5 inches (4 cm) of cushioning on all sides of the unit. “Bubble”
packing sheets, thick fiber blankets, and the like are acceptable cushioning materi-
als; foam “popcorn” and crumpled newspaper are not. Wrap cushioning materials
tightly around the unit and tape them in place to prevent the unit from shifting out
of its packing.
Close the carton without sealing it and shake it vigorously. If you can hear or feel
the unit move, use more packing. Seal the carton with 3-inch (8 cm) reinforced fi-
berglass or polyester sealing tape, top and bottom in an “H” pattern. Narrower or
parcel post type tapes will not withstand the stresses applied to commercial ship-
ments. Mark the package with the name of the shipper and with these words in red:
DELICATE INSTRUMENT, FRAGILE!
Insure the package properly. Ship prepaid, not collect. Do not ship parcel post. Your
Return Authorization Number must be shown on the label, or the package will
not be accepted.
