Page 3: Part 1 -- Z-Axis Installation
Part 1 -- Z-Axis Installation Step 1: Start by installing the Z-Axis quill bracket. Use one of the longer 5mm screws and screw it in the end of the bracket. When installing the bracket on the millhead, the flat on the front of the bracket with the 2 screw holes needs to be parallel with the flat spot on the mill head. - Page 4 Step 5: Mount the Z-Axis Encoder onto the Z-Axis Encoder Bracket using the extra-long 4mm capscrews on either end of the encoder. These capscrews are included with the encoder. Step 6: Line the reader up with the square bracket by lightly tapping on the square bracket with a hammer, as pictured, to move the mounting bracket closer to the reader on the encoder.

Step 5: Slide the Encoder over and start the screws to mount the bracket to the outside holes in the side of the saddle/carriage using the M6 x 16mm screws. Step 6: Shim behind the L-Shaped Bracket on the Y-Axis, with the shims provided, to bridge the gap between the bracket and the machine saddle.
