Training Note
: The next part of the installation can be tricky the first time you do it. This part
of the process needs to be done firmly and with confidence. Attempting to "guide" the robot slowly
and tentatively can cause it to tilt out of alignment.
Some people find it easier to press the robot to the back of the Loader Bracket without actually
grasping the vertical rails. Place your open palms on the vertical rails near the top, and push the
robot back. This helps make sure the robot maintains its vertical orientation.
10
Hold the robot at the “lift points” in the middle of the vertical rails and push it firmly toward the back of
the library until it hits the “full back position” shown in
Figure 24
and the mushroom button bottoms out.
11
Hold the robot at the “lift points” in the middle of the vertical rails. While maintaining pressure toward the
back of the library, slide the robot to the right into the load position (see
Figure 24
). Be careful not to
grasp the vertical rail in your right hand -- you could injure your hand when sliding the robot to the right.
The mushroom button slips down through the hole in the install bracket and the robot drops down
slightly into position. The robot is now in the proper position.
12
Verify the gears are engaged: The top gear on the robot should engage the teeth of the top x-axis gear
rack. The two rubber rollers on each gear rack should straddle the non-notched rack that is closer to the
back of the library, while the larger gear wheel on the middle rail should be forward of the gear rack.
See
Figure 25
.
If the gears are not engaged,
remove the robot and start over at
Step 2
on page 42
.
(To remove the
robot, first move it so that it is not directly underneath the loader bracket. Open the collector door,
unlatch the yellow plastic locking lever, lift the robot up so that its rollers clear the racks, and pull it out
of the library, top end first.)
