8.2 Return
WARNING!
Strictly observe the following when shipping the instrument:
All instruments delivered to WIKA must be free from any kind of hazard-
ous substances (e.g. decomposition products) and must therefore be
cleaned before being returned.
When returning the instrument, use the original packaging or a suitable transport
packaging.
To avoid damage:
1. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
Place shock-absorbent material evenly on all sides of the transport packaging.
2. If possible, place a bag containing a desiccant inside the packaging.
Information on returns can be found under the heading “Service” on our
local website.
8.3 Disposal
Incorrect disposal can put the environment at risk.
Dispose of instrument components and packaging materials in an environmentally
compatible way and in accordance with the country-specific waste disposal regulations.
