Armlock Removal
Armlock Removal
The armlock on the liquid handler secures the Y-arm
during shipment. You must remove the armlock
prior to installing the Z-arm and operating the
instrument. If the armlock is not removed, the
liquid handler cannot move in the X-direction. This
results in an error state during operation.
If you need to move the liquid handler, always
reinstall the armlock. This safeguards against
mechanical damage.
To remove the armlock:
1 Remove the cardboard label in front of the
armlock.
2 Using the 9/64" ball driver, loosen the
tensioning screw that immobilizes the Y-arm.
3 Using the 9/64" ball driver, remove the two
remaining screws that hold the armlock in
place.
4 Remove the armlock and store it and the ball
driver for future use.
