When moving the XY autosampler:
1 Reinstall the arm locking screw using the following procedure. Refer to Figure
4 on page 19 if necessary.

3 Move the horizontal arm to the right as far as it will go.
4 Locate and remove the arm locking screw from its storage location at the rear
panel.
5 Remove the plastic plug located on the right side panel.
6 While holding the horizontal arm in its far right position, install the arm
locking screw into place inside the XY autosampler.
7 Replace the plastic plug.
8 Lift the XY autosampler by holding the base. Do not use the horizontal arm as
a handle.
If packaging the XY autosampler for shipment, remove the vertical arm. To
remove the vertical arm, refer to Figure 5 on page 20 and follow the
instructions below.
1 Disconnect the transfer tubing from the needle.
2 Loosen the needle retaining screw and remove the needle.

screws.
4 Locate the hexagonal-shaped control rod by looking down into the horizontal
arm. Lightly press on the rod with your finger and push the rod towards you.
When the end of the rod is no longer flush with the end of the horizontal arm,
grasp the rod and completely remove it.
5 While holding the vertical arm, loosen the two screws, on the underside of the
horizontal arm, that secure the vertical arm. Remove the vertical arm.
6 Re-insert the control rod as far as it will go. While inserting the rod, you may
need to rotate the rod back and forth slightly to get it to pass through the
vertical arm's gearing and motor drive socket.
