Attaching the Motors
Put the Pinion Gears on the Motors
Locate the X and Y motors. These motors will already be fitted to a blue mounting bracket
and have a long cable attached. Also find the bag with your pinion gears.
• Fit a pinion gear on each of the motors and set the end of the gear flush with the
motor shaft. Don’t tighten the set screw yet; we’ll test fit the motors on the tool first.
• Note that the motor cables are color-coded to indicate the axis of the motor.
RED is X axis (there is an X-1 and an X-2 motor).
BLUE is the Y axis.
WHITE is the Z axis.
YELLOW is an accessory axis.
DO NOT REMOVE THE HEAT SHRINK THAT ENCASES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
THE MOTOR AND CABLES. IT IS THERE TO INSURE SOLID CONNECTIONS IN ALL
CONDITIONS.
