l
Make sure that all moving parts are secure before you move the ECO225SL. Unsecured
moving parts could shift and cause injury or damage to the equipment.
Carefully remove the stage from its protective shipping container. Gently set the stage on a smooth, flat,
and clean surface. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-free air to remove any dust or debris that
has collected during shipping.
Before you operate the stage, let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours. This will ensure
that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the same as they were when they were tested at
Aerotech.
Each stage has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain
information necessary for maintenance or system hardware and software updates. Locate this label and
record the information for later reference.
