8.2. Preparing the Stage for Transport
If the stage requires movement, transport or shipping, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect stage cables.
2. Remove the payload.
3. Remove the stage base mounting screws. With the air supply on, move the stage table by hand as needed
to access the mounting holes in the stage base.
4. With the air supply on, move the stage table to one end of travel by hand.
5. Install the shipping lock and lock label but do NOT fully tighten.
6. Turn off the air supply and disconnect the air supply line from the stage.
7. Tighten the stage shipping lock bolt using a 3mm Allen wrench.
The stage is now secured and can be safely moved. If the stage needs to be shipped, use the original packing
materials.
Use care when moving the stage. Avoid any shocks, drops or bumps that can cause scratches,
dings, dents, or distortion of the stage.
The stage table should never be moved without the air supply turned on. Moving the stage table
with no air supply, causing sliding metal-to-metal contact, may damage the bearing surfaces.
Do not attempt to move or transport the stage with the payload attached. This may damage the
stage and the payload.
