Note:
In normal operation, there is a spring

rearward
position
possible
during
cartridge change and power-off situations.
The spring force of this detent is not
sufficient to protect the carriage head
assembly during shipment.

USING OTHER PACKAGING.
2-22.
The following general instructions should be used
for repackaging with commercially available materials:
CAUTION
Restore shipping clamp used in original
shipment, as described in paragraph 2-10,
to prevent internal movement of carriage
and internal damage.
If
no shipping clamp
is available, some means of fastening the
carriage assembly to the linear motor
must be used. Use extreme care not to
damage the head assemblies or their leads.
The shipping clamp should be used when-
ever possible. Do not ship with cartridge
installed.
Installation
Note:
In normal operation, there is a spring
detent to hold the carriage in the most
rearward
position
possible
during
cartridge change and power-off situations.
The spring force of this detent is not
sufficient to protect the carriage head
assembly during shipment.
a. Wrap the unit in heavy paper or plastic.
(If
shipping to a
Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office, attach a tag
indicating the type of service required, return address,
model number and full serial number.)
b. Use a strong shipping container. A double-wall carton
made of 350-pound test material is adequate.
c. Use enough shock-absorbing material (3- to 4-inch
layer) around all sides of the unit to provide firm
cushioning and prevent movement inside the container.
Protect the control panel with cardboard.
d. Seal the shipping container securely and mark it
FRAGILE to assure careful handling, and with a
caution that states: "Magnetic equipment suitable for
air shipment if maintained at a distance of 15 feet or
more from compass sensing devices."
e. In any correspondence, refer to the unit by model
number and full serial number.
