Remove and discard the two motor setscrews in
the bottom of the motor. They are for shipping
purposes only.
Using the elevating handwheel, raise the arm 3
inches and remove the packing material.
Lock the arm with the arm lock knob, located on top
of the front of the arm, so the arm doesn’t swing
while you are mounting the yoke assembly.
Pick up the yoke assembly and carefully slip it onto
the carriage track below the arm. Keep it parallel
with the arm so bearings slide in smoothly. See
Figure 12C.
