Bearing Block Alignment Procedure (All Models)
1. Loosen 4 Screws on the Carriage Plate
2. Loosely install 4 M6-1.0 screws in open holes of Carriage Plate. These are temporary to ensure thread access for
attaching future parts to the Carriage Plate.
3. While applying a downward force on the center of the Carriage Plate, slightly tighten the 4 Carriage Plate screws
in a crisscross pattern.
4. Move and stroke the Carriage checking for smooth movement.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until movement is as desired.
6. Remove the 4 M6-1.0 temporary screws.
7. With a rubber hammer, sharply hit the center of the Carriage Plate. This fully seats the Bearing Liner. This step
can be done any time, after installation or use, when the carriage seems to have resistance to motion.
