Lifting Instructions
Carefully remove the AMG-LP from its protective shipping container. Gently set the AMG-LP on a smooth,
flat, and clean surface.
Before operating the AMG-LP, it is important to let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
Allowing it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are
the same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to
remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
Each AMG-LP has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain
information necessary for maintaining or updating system hardware and software. Locate this label and
record the information for later reference.
Shipping Clamps
Before the stage can be operated, remove all of the red anodized shipping brackets (refer to
).
Save the shipping brackets to be used for long-term storage of the stage or return shipping for service.
