1.3.6 Packing for shipment
The packing container used for shipping the CI-90A has been tested according to the
standards of the National Safe Transit Association. For this reason, it is recommended
that the original packing container be saved for reuse if it has no obvious damage. The
packing container consists of an outer double-walled cardboard box, two foam inserts,
and an internal cardboard box used to hold accessories. This internal box also serves the
important function of tightening the foam inserts against the CI-90A.
If the original shipping carton was discarded, select a cardboard box large enough that
at least 3 inches of heavy bubble wrap can be placed on all sides of the instrument. Any
extensions (handle, feet) should be especially well protected, because the impact is
amplified if the carton is dropped on a part that extends out from the rest of the chassis.
Avoid the use of loose packing materials such as peanuts, because they shift and leave
one side of the instrument unprotected. Shipping companies do not accept responsibility
for damage when the instrument is poorly packed.
