Transport Case
is specially fitted for safe transport of
the 4590 and associated parts. The case is water-resistant
but is not watertight. In case of inclement weather, the case
should be protected with some type of covering to prevent
intrusion of rain, etc. Always use this transport case when
transporting or shipping the gauge.
