12.1 Transportation and shipping of the balance
Your balance is a precision instrument. Treat it carefully.
Avoid shaking, severe impacts and vibration during the transportation.
Take care that there are no marked temperature fluctuations during
the transportation and that the balance does not become damp
(condensation).
12.2 Storage of the balance
If you would like to take the balance out of service for an extended
period, disconnect it from the electricity supply, clean it thoroughly
(see Chapter 11 “Maintenance and servicing”) and store it in a place
which fulfils the following conditions:
• No violent shaking, no vibrations
• No large temperature fluctuations
• No direct solar radiation
• No moisture
NOTE
The balance should preferably be dispatched and transported in the
original packaging to avoid transportation damage.
NOTE
The balance should preferably be stored in the original packaging,
since this provides optimal protection for the balance.
