Check the Toothed Belt Lines
Move the Gantry to the right and back. Looking at the upper Toothed Belt, slowly move the Gantry toward the right again until
you see a red line on the Toothed Belt. Confirm that the red line lines up with the red line on the Toothed Pulley (Fig C). If
they don’t, call Help Desk. Without moving the Gantry, look at the lower Toothed Belt and make sure the red lines line up on
the Toothed Belt and the Toothed Pulley (Fig D). If not, call Help Desk.

the Head so as to avoid injury.*

2. Point the Head so that the Foot Block faces toward the Board and the wheels are close to the bottom of the Gantry (Fig C).
Line up the wheels on the Head to the center channels of the Gantry arm. Ease the Head onto the Gantry (Fig D).
