tool before placing it back in the tool holder. When gripper paddles are removed from the
channels, replace them in the tool holder so that the pins and magnets are facing toward
the center of the tool holder.

Maintenance has not passed, contact Promega Technical Services (

to troubleshoot the issue and determine whether to schedule a service visit before running
