7. Push the instrument tray inside the instrument, then remove the thermal cycler
access cover to permit access to the sample block.
IMPORTANT! The thermal cycler access cover is secured to the instrument by
non-locking pins and may require force to remove it (no tools are required).

clockwise until it is very loose but still attached to the sample block locking bar.
IMPORTANT! Some instruments may require the use of an adjustable crescent
wrench to loosen the sample block locking bolt.
