Mounting example
This chapter provides information about installing an XPlanar. The
assembly is described based on a simple symmetrical system with
3x4tiles as an example.
Observe the order of assembly
Assemble the XPlanar one step at a time. Insert the tiles one after
the other into the machine bed. This avoids complications with po-
sitioning and mounting individual tiles at the end of the first part of
the mechanical installation.
