XENOWORKS MICROMANIPULATOR SYSTEM (TOUCHDECLUTCH) OPERATION MANUAL – REV.

 

2

 4.10 (20141208)

8.

 

Locate the shipping screw holes. There are four through-holes in each axis slide, but only 
two of the holes will line up with the correct tapped holes on the inner slide surface when 

the instrument is in the ‘Setup’ position. 

9.

 

Locate the original shipping screws that should have been retained with the original 
packaging, and insert them into the appropriate locations. Do not over tighten the screws 

- turn them until they are lightly seated in their holes. 

10.

 

Place the mechanical in a plastic bag. 

11.

 

The mechanical is now ready for transport in the original packaging. 
Take care to ensure that the shipping screws are removed before the instrument is 

operated again (see Section 3 for the correct installation procedure).
