Check the Rotation Movement
1. Move the compression paddle out of compression. Then check that all four sets of arm left/right con-
trol buttons are operational (check each button for arm rotation movement).
2. Rotate the arm to its left and right limits. Software preset limits should stop movement (185° counter-
clockwise, 165° clockwise).
3. During arm movement, check for any noise that indicates excessive friction or binding.
