Insert the inner probe-holder arm pin into the mounting hole in the wedge (see 
Figure 2-4 on page 24).

6.

Reinstall the outer probe-holder arm:

a)

Engage the outer probe-holder-arm pin in the other mounting hole in the 
wedge.

b)

Ensure that the outer probe-holder arm is parallel to the inner probe-holder 
arm.

c)

Tighten the outer probe-holder-arm screw.

7.

Ensure that the probe and wedge assembly is free to rotate around the pins 
without presenting lateral movement.

8.

Adjust the length of the exposed cables and tubes (see section “Adjusting the 
Length of Exposed Cables and Tubes” on page 26).

9.

Clip the probe cable and couplant tube on the cable-management posts.
Make sure that you are inserting the probe cable in the bigger diameter groove in 
order to not damage the outer shield.
