4 Manually move the Pipette assembly to the rear pillar and insert the spigot of
the pipette into the alignment hole on the post (Figure 3-3).
Note: The pipette spigot must enter the alignment hole vertically
(directly overhead) without any left-to-right or front-to-back side
movement. Move the x-arm or y-arm assemblies if necessary and
push on the pipette only from the top. Check for correct alignment
several times and hold the pipette spigot in the alignment hole (without
compressing the spigot spring) while pressing "OK".
