Unpacking and Inspection

The 215PCM is highly durable and is carefully packaged and crated. We recommend you inspect the unit carefully after removing it from the packaging, as occasionally there may be damage due to some unfortunate incident during shipment. Report any damage to the shipping carrier. We recommend saving the carton and packing material. It is always a good idea to keep the packaging in case the unit must be shipped back to your dealer, distributor, or service center.
