Milo Quick Start Guide

3.
Push the rig to the levelled part of the ramp-ups and whilst in the
position push the four track bearings under the four corners of the
Milo base making sure that all four bearings are aligned with the
corners of the Milo base, and the track motor gear on the underside
of Milo clears the rack. (The track motor gear is on bearing rails so
you can slide it out of the way to clear the rack.)Using an M8 allen
key push the 4 x bearing bolts on their springs and put two turns
into each bearing.
4.
Push Milo further over the ramp-ups on to the bearings on the track
so it drops fully. Tighten the four track bearing mounting bolts at
the corners.
5.
Feed out enough umbilical cable from your control area to reach the
entire length of the track without stretching the cable. Make sure the
area alongside the track is clear so that the umbilical cable doesn’t
catch on anything when Milo drags it alongside the track.
6.
Attach the track motor pinch wheel on the underside of Milo,
described in the next section.
Hint
Always mount and remove the track bearings with care. Try to
keep them squared up and in-line with the bearing rail to avoid
damaging them or loosing a bearing.
Caution
Manually push the rig to ensure there is no resistance in the track. If
there is, you might need to level the track.
