bulletTurning these deck screws Counter Clockwise will allow the screws to rise up and secure the deck down, causing the deck to be firm and " Not Bouncy" This is how you want the deck to be before shipping
           
bulletFor models without these screws provided by the manufacture, use any method you can think of to secure the deck from bouncing during shipment. Most all shippers will toss boxes and handle them pretty roughly, not to mention riding down the highway at 65 mph. A floating deck not secured down could be damaged. 
bulletSecure the tone arm to the tone arm holder. Every model is different in how this is done. Some have their own clip provided by the manufacturer.
bulletPlace the needle guard on the needle if you have one or if applicable. 
bulletIf your Tone arm has a balancing weight at the rear of the arm, place some bubble wrap under the weight to help support the weight during shipment. Do Not Over Do It, you just need to help support it. 
bulletWrap your equipment in plastic bags to keep packing materials from entering chassis.  Important!
bulletChoose a box large enough to allow at least two inches of packing on all sides of equipment, including top and bottom.
bulletFoam packing peanuts are recommended, but you may use bubble wrap, shredded paper or wadded newspaper.
