6. Tilt up the arm’s back (on your right side). With the back higher, slide the arm
out to your right, and then lift it up. Lifting the arm straight up from the
bottom of the box is not possible, and will cause the shipping platform on the
bottom of the arm to damage the foam packaging.
7. Place the robot arm on a level surface. The bolts extending below the shipping
platform make the underside uneven.
8. Remove the anti-static plastic.
Removing the Wooden Shipping Platform
The encoder located at the base of the arm is a sensitive electronic component.
When the arm is removed from the shipping platform, the encoder is exposed.
The encoder is black, metal or plastic covered, approximately two inches [50 mm]
in diameter, and recessed approximately
3
/
16
inches [4 mm] from the mounting
surface.
Warning! Carefully remove the shipping platform. The encoder is exposed at the
center of the open underside of the base. Do not damage the encoder when setting
down the arm.
