Unpacking and Installation
The centrifuge is first packed in a styrofoam and then put in a carton box for shipping.
Please examine the shipment upon receipt and retain all packing until the unit has been
tested. The warranty excludes any damage caused by shipping.
Inspect for any possible shipping damage. If you note any damage, please contact
HENRY SCHEIN. Save the original packaging. If it becomes necessary to return the
instrument to us, we ask that it be returned in the original packaging.
Unpack the shipping carton carefully and verify that the shipment is complete. It should
