Unpacking and identifying parts
Remove the parts one at a time from the box. Make a check in the space provided as you identify each
part. Any part that is packed in an envelope should be identified and then kept in that envelope until
it’s called for. Do not throw away any packing material until all parts are accounted for. If anything is
missing, please contact Tiffen for a replacement.
