Double-check for level now at several different points across the machine: front-to-back, side-to-side,
and diagonally. Adjust the four (4) leveling feet where necessary.
Confirm Tension of the V‑Wheels
The V-wheels were tensioned in step 4.

Double-check each one now and adjust where necessary. Refer back to
Figure 3‑4

the fifteen (15) M5x25mm button head screws
securing the baseplate to baseframe (these
screws were not tightened in step 2).

loose,
HOLD
the X-rail

both Y-carriage plates squarely into contact
with the front endplate. See
Figure 11‑3

M6x12mm button head cap screw sets 1-4, in
numbered order, shown in
Figure 11‑4

Move the X-rail to the rear and maintain
REARWARD PRESSURE
and use the 4mm hex key to fully tighten the eight (8) M6x12mm button head
cap screw sets 5-6, in numbered order, shown in
