Make sure to use shipping straps or band to hold the package fixed on the pallet,

otherwise the analyzer can be seriously damaged during shipping.

Do not apply excess force to the straps because that may break the carton box

and damage the analyzer.

Never put the analyzer upside down on the pallet.
