Orient the encoder on the encoder bracket such that the cables exit
towards the feedback connector.
3.
Connect the encoder cable.
4.
Install the encoder bracket assembly.
5.
Slide the provided shim along the encoder scale, under the plastic seal
into the linear thruster from the connector end.
6.
Insert a tool through the encoder access hole and press the encoder
against the shim.
7.
Tighten the encoder screws with a 2.5 mm hex driver.
8.
Remove the shim.
It must be difficult to return the shim beneath the encoder once
removed.
9.
Move the slider from spring stop to spring stop to verify that the encoder
does not rub the scale.
10.
Replace the two M8 set screws.
