[Guide] Repacking the Standup 2.0 for RMA/Return Shipping

Overview

The RMA Repackaging Kit for the Standup 2.0 (part number 550-0073) ensures returned units arrive back to Bevi in a safe and protected manner. Following this guide helps to prevent the returner from incurring any damage fee. 

Required Tools, and Materials

• Bevi Repackaging kit 550-0073 includes the following
  • 2x moving blankets
  • 3x shipping straps
  • 1x pallet
  • 1x freeze indicator
  • 3x corrugated shipping pads (flat packed)

• We recommend that the repackaging be completed by two people , especially during loading and placement of the shipping pads under the unit.
• NOTE: The repackaging process requires moving the Standup 2.0 onto the provided pallet. This can be done either by a rolling cart or a ramp, which are not included in the kit.
• NOTE: Masking tape or packaging tape is required, and are not included in the kit.

Task 1: Moving the Standup 2.0 onto the Pallet

Ensure decommissioning was completed. Before repackaging the Standup 2.0, the unit must be moved onto the provided pallet using one of the two following methods:

Method 1: Using a Rolling Cart

• Position an appliance cart or hand-truck behind the rear of the machine. 
  • NOTE: Make sure the cart/hand-truck is appropriate for moving this type and size of device. 
• Use moving blankets or foam supports, together with safety straps, to secure the machine to the appliance cart.
• Wheel the Bevi to the edge of the pallet.
• Carefully tip the machine onto the cart. Roll the cart slowly and carefully up the front edge of the pallet.  
• Continue to wheel the cart to the opposite edge of the pallet.
• Carefully tip the cart and machine forward until the machine is fully resting on the floor.
  • NOTE: Two people recommended.
• Remove the safety straps and carefully pull the dolly out and away from the Bevi.
• Use the casters of the Bevi to center the unit on the pallet.

Method 2: Using a Ramp

Place a pallet ramp next to the pallet on the ground. Use the side handles of the 2.0 to carefully wheel the unit up the ramp and onto the pallet top, using the machine’s built-in casters.

Task 2: Repackaging the Standup 2.0 on the Pallet

1. Once the Standup 2.0 unit is placed and centered on the pallet, continue to the repacking steps:
2. Place the adhesive freeze indicator on the top back panel, centered between both sides (indicated by red arrow in the photo below).
   • The freeze indicator is placed in the center of the back panel to avoid damage from the shipping straps.

1. Obtain the 3x corrugated cardboard pads, which are shipped flat.
   • Bend the pads in an accordion style along the perforations.
   • The cardboard pads should now be brick shaped.
   • Use tape to maintain the pads in their folded brick shape.

Pad #1: 22" x 10"
Pad #2: 12" x 4"
Pad #3: 15" x 5"

1. • Note: The base corrugated box is shown flat in several pictures on top of the pallet surface, but is not required for the RMA packaging.
2. Tilt the machine to slide pad #1 (22” x 10”) between the front and rear casters.

1. • Tilt the machine to the side to push the pad halfway through.
   • Tilt the machine to the rear and slide the pad the rest of the way between the casters.
2. From the rear, tilt the machine forward and place pad #3 (15”x5”) between the rear casters.
3. From the front, tilt the machine towards the rear and place pad #2 (12” x 4”) between the front casters and beneath the door.
   • Before placing pad #2, ensure that the front casters are rotated toward the center of the machine.

1. Use 1x blanket to wrap half of the Bevi.
   • Secure this blanket with tape (indicated by the yellow arrow in the photo below).

1. Use the 2nd blanket to wrap the remainder of the Bevi.
   • Secure the 2nd blanket with tape.

1. Run the shipping straps through the pallet and around the top of the Bevi.
   • 2x straps run parallel around the door/back of machine (avoid pinching the freeze indicator).
   • 1x strap runs around the sides of the machine.

1. Tighten the shipping straps.
2. Tie off excess straps.
