1.6 Prepare for Gantry
Install
1.
Pull the Y-Right carriage all the way to the front
of the machine. See Fig . 1-4.
2. Pull the Y-Left carriage all the way to the front.
3. Use a 5mm hex key to remove the two (2)

1.7 Open Box 2
1.
Open Box 2. This box contains:
a. Shapeoko 5 Pro gantry (note that the X-Axis
drag chain is pre-installed on the gantry).
b. Shapeoko 5 Hybrid Table (aluminum
extrusions and MDF strips).
c. Hybrid Table hardware.

1.8 Install Gantry Assembly
NOTE: This step is much easier with two people.
The X-Axis gantry assembly is heavy and can easily
tip over. If the gantry tips over, the mating faces on
the bottom edge will be irreparably damaged, which
will prevent the gantry from attaching properly to the
Y-Axis assemblies.
1.
Lift the gantry from the box and set it onto the
rear position of the Y-Axis carriage plates, over
the now-empty screw holes. See Fig . 1-5.
a. The large X-Axis carrier plate faces the front.
2. Hold the gantry firmly in place as you complete
the steps on the following page.
