repaired without cost to the Government. All accessories and spare parts
shall be packed separately in containers plainly marked "ACCESSORIES ONLY,"
or "SPARE PARTS ONLY." A packing list, listing the contents of each
container, shall be placed in a moisture-proof envelope and securely
fastened to the outside of the container. Standard commercial packaging in
accordance with ASTM D 3951 will be acceptable except where a different
method or standard of packaging is specified.

Shipping, Preservation, and Storage
**************************************************************************
NOTE: For very long cylinders, deflection of the
rod during shipment may cause damage to the rod
and/or bore of the cylinder. It is best to avoid
the use of internal rod support blocks. One
solution to this problem is to extend the rod a
short distance, provide a bracket so that the rod
cannot be retracted, and then pressurize the
underside of the piston so that the rod is in
tension. Also, shipping the cylinder filled with
oil will dampen the movement of the rod.
**************************************************************************
Packing, crating, cradles, etc., necessary to ensure safe shipment are the
responsibility of the Contractor and shall become the property of the
Government upon delivery of the equipment. The hydraulic cylinders shall
be [filled with the specified hydraulic fluid] [drained and purged with
nitrogen] and the piping connections sealed. [The shipping provisions
shall be such that the cylinders may be rotated in increments of 90 degrees
during storage. Should the cylinders be stored by the Contractor during
fabrication, shipping, or at the worksite in the horizontal position more
than 30 days, they shall be rotated every 30 days as follows: first 90
degrees, then 180 degrees, then 90 degrees, and then 180 degrees.]
[Provisions shall be made with external shipping devices to prevent damage
to the cylinder and piston rod resulting from the rod flexing up and down
in the cylinder during transport. Internal rod supports are not
acceptable. The Contractor shall submit his proposal for controlling
movement of the piston rod for approval.] [Internal rod supports shall be
provided to prevent the rod from deflecting and damaging the rod and
cylinder bore during handling and shipping.] Machined surfaces shall be
adequately protected from corrosion and physical damage. Equipment
delivered and placed in storage shall be stored with protection from the
weather, humidity, temperature variation, dirt and dust, or other
1.8
PROJECT/SITE CONDITIONS
The Contractor shall visit the site to thoroughly familiarize himself with
all details of the work and working conditions, to verify dimensions in the
field, and he shall then advise the Contracting Officer of any
discrepancies prior to performing any work. The Contractor shall be
specifically responsible for the coordination and proper relation of his
work to the structure and work of all trades.
1.9
WARRANTY
All equipment shall be guaranteed for a period of 2 years from the date of
acceptance. Replacement parts shall be guaranteed for 2 years from date of
replacement. Warranty shall be against defective materials, design, and
