Notes on Transport
This section explains points to be observed when transporting the instrument.
Repacking
To repack the instrument, the packing materials used to deliver the instrument must be
used. If they have been discarded or damaged, pack the instrument as explained below.
1. Wrap the instrument with a thick vinyl sheet to prevent entry of dust.
2. Place cushioning material on projecting parts on the bottom and front/rear
panels of the instrument to protect them.
3. Prepare a corrugated, wooden or aluminum box that is large enough to
accommodate the instrument and allows 10 to 15 cm space between the surface
of each part of the instrument (top, bottom, front, rear, right/left panels) and the
sides of the box.
4. Put shock-absorbent materials at the bottom of the box to absorb shocks, such
as vibration.
5. Place the instrument in the center of the box and fill the spaces (between the
box’s internal surface and each surface of the instrument: top, front, rear,
right/left panels) with shock absorbent materials.
6. Secure the outside of the box with packing cord, adhesive tape or bands.
The instrument must be packed so that any impact or vibration on the instrument is
50G or less. If the instrument is exposed to impact or vibration exceeding 50G, the
instrument may get damaged. In particular, take care not to let any excessive
pressure be exerted on the LCD.
It is recommended that packing materials used to deliver the instrument be kept in
a safe place. Using these materials will facilitate packing work when transporting
the instrument.
