To remove a cartridge from the hand:
1. Rotate the Z column until the hand is located on the left, top side of the LSM

2. Turn the hand pulley (refer to Figure 3-8 on page 3-14 ) until the gripper
mechanism is extended to its full position (refer to Figure 3-9 ).
3. Hold the hand pulley with one hand and grasp the cartridge with the other.
Pull gently on the cartridge until it is released from the gripper mechanism, as
shown in

CAUTION:
Make sure that the gripper mechanism is fully retracted. If it is left
extended and you turn the robot, the gripper mechanism will strike a
storage cell.
