The platesetter is shipped with several safeguards that prevent excessive movement of internal parts during transport.

Opening Doors and Removing Securing Ties

To access the securing ties, you need to manually open the Upper front and rear doors.

1. To open the Upper front door: insert a screwdriver into the two (2) holes of the upper front cover. This releases the locking mechanism pins of the Upper front door.
2. Remove the wide tapes that tape the tail gripper to the drum.
3. Cut the two white plastic ties that attach the X-Y system to the loading system.
4. Cut the white plastic tie that attaches the spiral punch to the punch beam.

Optomechanic to Chassis Locking Devices

The special locking devices secure the Optomechanic assembly to the main frame during transport. There are four such locking devices - two on the front side of the platesetter, and two on the rear side. The locking devices are red for easy identification. Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 show the locking devices and their locations.

1. Each locking device is secured with two screws. Use a 5/16" Allen key to remove the screws. Then remove the red locking device.
2. Perform the above to remove the two front locking devices and the two rear locking devices.

Carriage to Optomech Locking Devices

Two locking devices secure the carriage to the V block during transport. There are two such locking devices - one in front of the carriage and one behind the carriage. Both are accessed from the rear side of the platesetter. See Figure 2-9.

1. The front locking device is secured with six (6) screws. Use a 5/16" Allen key to remove the screws, and then remove the locking device (item 1 in figure).
2. The rear locking device is secured with ten (10) screws. Use the Allen key to remove the screws and then remove the locking device (item 2 in figure).

Note: After removing the locking devices, visually inspect the components inside the machine to verify that they are undamaged.
