cutouts in the cantilever holder.

Remove the cantilever holder:
• Once the board has cleared the
connector, carefully wiggle the
cantilever holder up and out.
• The resistance you feel as you remove

clears the cell body, be ready for the
resistance to drop suddenly. Keep a firm
grip on both handles to keep from
flinging the cantilever holder across the
room!
