the encoder should be parallel to the Y axis movement of the saddle (within 0.002”)

7. Install the encoder using the #8-32 screws provided. Tighten the screws just

8. Re-align the encoder. Using a torque wrench, tighten the screws to 24 in-lbs. Do
not overtighten the screws.
NOTE:
If the encoder is not properly aligned the reader head will not read correctly.
Recheck the alignment.
