Power Down the Library and Verify Robot Position

The robot needs to be at the top and front of the Base Module to be locked into place.

1. Power down the library with the “to prepare the robot for removal" option enabled (see Controlled Power-Down from the Interface).
2. Lock the robot (see Lock the Robot).
3. Remove the right cartridge magazine from the Base Module (see Remove the Cartridge Magazine with the Hex Key if necessary).
4. Make sure the robot has positioned the hand against the ceiling and front face of the library (see image below).
   

Install the Shipping Clip

The shipping clip secures the robot hand for shipment.

1. Verify the robot is in position (see Power Down the Library and Verify Robot Position).
2. Grasp the shipping clip and reach through the cartridge magazine opening.
3. Open the shipping clip and install it over the 7 mm steel shaft behind the hand assembly (see image below).
