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.
