The head stage slide can now be set to project on the right side of the manipulator.

To return a PatchStar from a left handed configuration back to right handed, follow
the same steps outlined above. In step 4, the X axis (blue) should be rotated through
180° to position the manual adjuster on the right hand side of the PatchStar.
3.1.2 Arranging the PatchStar in ‘low-profile’ configuration
An optional low profile bracket allows the position of Z axis (red) to be changed, lowering the
height of the PatchStar for rigs with height restrictions.
Fitting this bracket involves removing the Z axis (red), removing the standard Z axis L-
bracket, and refitting the low profile bracket in its place.
