how to install Pelican 1630 Shipping Case
To make the most of your Pelican 1630 Shipping Case, start by selecting the interior configuration that best fits your gear. If you’re using the foam insert, lay it flat and identify the pieces you need to remove or trim for a snug fit. For padded dividers, position them to create protective compartments that minimize movement. Place your heaviest items first toward the base of the case to maintain stability during transport, then layer lighter components on top, ensuring there are no sharp edges pressing against others. Close the interior lid or layer, using the foam cutouts or dividers to secure each item in place. Once your gear is arranged, place the lid back onto the case and verify that it closes cleanly without forcing items. Engage the latches, then gently attempt to open the case to confirm the interior is securely held in place. If the case has a combination or padlock option, set your preferred security code to protect contents during travel. Finally, roll the case using the built-in wheels, or carry it by the handle when stairs or uneven terrain require a different approach. Regularly inspect the seals and latches for wear, replace any damaged components promptly, and store the case in a cool, dry location when not in use to maximize longevity.
