Remove Transport Locks
CAUTION! The instrument can be damaged if the transport locks are not removed
before the instrument is powered on.
Transport locks are placed on the transport slide and the microplate drawer to protect the
instrument during shipment. You must remove the transport locks before you power on the
instrument.
Note: If the rear of your instrument does not have the transport lock opening in the
center, see Remove Transport Locks - Alternate on page 25.
This procedure requires the following tool:

Table 2-3: Required Tool
CAUTION! Do not touch or loosen screws or parts other than those specifically
designated in the instructions. Doing so could cause misalignment and possibly void
the warranty.
To remove the transport locks:
1. On the rear of the instrument, use the provided 3.0 mm Holex HEXAGON ballhead bolt
driver to loosen the screw located inside the Transport Lock opening until you feel the
spring release.
Note: The screw remains inside the instrument. The screw is
spring mounted and cannot get lost within the instrument. It
could take ten full turns to loosen the screw until you feel the
spring release. This unlocks the transport slide. If the instrument
makes a grinding noise when you start a plate read, you have not
released the transport slide.
