FACTORY REPAIRS
Should it become necessary to return the instrument to the factory for repairs, follow the
instructions below for repacking.
Remove all items including power cord, stirrups, pans, loose weights, etc. Do not return these
items to us. We need only the balance to effect repairs.
NOTE: Please see service and repair if balance needs to be returned to the
factory for repair.
To avoid damaging the hangdowns, they should be secured before shipment. THE
HANGDOWNS ARE DELICATE, SO USE THE UTMOST CARE (see Figure 7). Thread and
small strips of masking tape are recommended. Cut approximately 7" of nylon thread per
hangdown. Loop the thread through each diamond shaped hangdown loop and loosely secure
both ends of thread to the bottom of the weighing chamber (with the chamber pans removed)
with masking tape.
Figure 7: Securing the Hangdowns
Remove the glass doors from the weighing chamber. Repack the balance in its original container
or, if it is not available, wrap the balance in several inches of bubble pack before placing it in a
packing carton filled with resilient packing material. A small amount of time spent on proper
packing can save considerable expense on repairs due to shipping damage.
For shipment by motor freight, express, etc., pack this carton inside a second one, with resilient
material between the cartons. A single carton is adequate for air freight.
