Introduction
Lowering the System Unit Leveling Legs
(Same as Gen 1 Task)
Required tools: 24 mm open end wrench, 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench.
1
On only the four outer edge corner legs of the system unit, use the 24 mm open end wrench to loosen
the four locking nuts.
2
Lower the four outer edge corner legs by hand until the legs touch the floor. You may need to use the
6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench to turn the legs if the threads do not turn freely.
Raising the System Unit Off the Casters
(Same as Gen 1 Task)
Required tools: 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench
1
Using the 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench, raise the entire system unit by only the four
outer edge corner legs seven (7) half turns during the system raising process. If a leg is lifted off the
floor, give only that leg seven (7) half turns. This should raise the entire system unit off of the casters
seven (7) half turns.
Training Note
: Some people find the phrase "seven half turns" confusing. Another way to think
of it is as 3 and 1/2 rotations.
2
Check each corner leg to ensure that there is pressure on the foot and you cannot turn it by hand.
•
If you have correctly given each outer edge corner leg seven (7) half turns you should not be able
to turn the feet by hand.
CAUTION
If you do not loosen the locking nuts, you may strip the threads on the
leveling legs during movement.
Note
To ensure even weight distribution on the legs, it is very important that the
lowered legs be brought into contact with the floor without lifting the system
unit. You can verify whether a leg is in contact with the floor by attempting
to slide a piece of paper underneath it.
Note
Making a mark on the top of the leg will help you keep track of the half
turns. It is important to track the total number of turns, especially if you are
installing additional expansion modules.
