Place the Z-Plus onto the front of the X-rail,
aligning the top V-wheels with the upper V-rail.

in the

section. See

assemble in this order:

25mm SHCS
ii.
V-wheel
iii.
M5 washer (shim)
b.
Use a 10mm wrench to hold the HD
eccentric nuts steady in the fully open
position (dimples up).
c.
Be sure the V-wheels are properly seated on the lower V-rail.
d.
Use a 4mm hex key to secure both V-wheels to the HD eccentric nuts.

Check wheel spin. If shims are properly placed between wheels and carriage plate, the wheels will spin
with little to no resistance.

Rotate the eccentric nuts CLOCKWISE to tension. Reach under and spin the V-wheel with your finger. If
it rotates freely, keep tightening until you feel some friction against the rail.

the V-wheel and carriage plate.
