IMPORTANT
Once the MPC-385-series system has been unpacked, remove the two shipping screws,
indicated by the red warning tags, from each MP-285/M micromanipulator mechanical. These
screws must be removed before operating the manipulator. Save the screws, warning tags,
and hex wrench if future transport of the manipulator is needed. Once these screws have
been removed, handle the micromanipulator with care. The mechanism can be damaged if
the axes are moved with the screws in place.
