packed properly. Carriers will not accept responsibility for damage caused by improper packing. To be
certain the unit will not be damaged in shipment, observe the following rules:
➀ The carton must be strong enough for the item
shipped.
➁ Make certain there is at least two inches of packing
material between any point on the apparatus and
the inside walls of the carton.
➂ Make certain that the packing material can not shift
in the box, or become compressed, thus letting the
