control module, hold it in place with one hand and, using your
other hand, move the parking tab in a counter-clockwise
direction until it stops in the “parked” position. The metal
parking tab is located at the bottom of column 1.

broad metal X-axis plate. Lifting the robot by the
thin metal rod will bend the rod. Lifting the robot
by the black plastic picker body can damage the
robot.
