Chapter 5 Setting up the Unit
Removing the shipping fixture
Loosen the set screws in the fiber holding blocks using the hex key. Open the lids and lift out the shipping fixture.
Save the shipping fixture in case you ever have to ship the PTR306/PTR306B anywhere.
Figure 2 Removing the Shipping Fixture
Installing the Inserts
Put the top inserts in place and capture them using the set screws in the lid. Use the 0.035" hex key to tighten the
set screws. Put the bottom inserts in place and capture them using the set screws in the base of the fiber holding
block, using the same hex key. As you install the inserts, make sure they are fully seated as you tighten the set
screws.

Attaching the Manual Recoat Injector
If your unit is a PTR306B, you will need to attach the manual recoat injector to the side of the unit. Place the injector
on the side of the unit, and attach it to the unit using the two cap screws from the attached bag. Use the 3/32" hex
key to tighten the screws.
Attaching the Recoat Mold Assembly
Make sure that the base plate, bottom of the mold assembly and microswitch actuating post are cleaned of any dirt
particles. Insert the microswitch actuating post by inserting the long end into the recoat assembly. Verify that the
post moves up and down freely.
