14.4 Set-up shim method

When using this method, remove the alignment
brackets (see section 14.3.1 on page 17) just
prior to installation.
Where access to the readhead from either side is
restricted in the installation position, a setting shim
can be used instead of the alignment brackets to
ensure correct positioning of the readhead relative
to the extrusion. The shim is easily inserted
between the readhead and encoder extrusion.

2 × M6 screws. Tighten screws to 8 Nm to complete the installation.
