Removing the shipping lock
CAUTION:
You must remove the shipping lock before you power up the unit. If you do not, the robotic transport
mechanism will not be able to move.
The shipping lock prevents the robotic transport mechanism from moving during shipment. The shipping
lock is held in place with a piece of tape and is located in the top center of the autoloader (see Figure 3 ).
After the shipping lock is removed, it should be stored on the back panel of the autoloader, so that it is
easily accessible, if you need to ship the autoloader to another location.
Figure 3 Shipping lock
To remove and store the shipping lock:
1. Locate the tape and shipping lock at the top of the autoloader (see Figure 3 ).
2. Remove the tape, then remove the shipping lock.
3. Store the shipping lock on the back panel of the autoloader as shown in Figure 4 .

Refitting the shipping lock
If you need to return or ship an autoloader, it is important that you refit the lock before shipping. This
prevents damage during transportation.
1. Power off the unit, using the power button on the front of the unit.
2. This should return the robotics to the home position. Reinsert the shipping lock for shipment and stick
some tape across the top of it so that it does not fall out during transit.
