1.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Great care should be taken when unpacking the equipment. Be sure to
verif y th e cont en ts sh own on th e packin g l ist and in spect th e equ ipmen t f or
any loose par ts or oth er damag e. All pac king mat erial should be p reserved

1.2 Repacking and S hipp in g

package.
