OPERATION
3.1. Microbe Setup on a Scanning Surface
1. Assemble the appropriate
conguration to the cart (Fig. 11).
Install the wedge and probes that
will be used (see Slip Joint Probe
Holder on page 11).
2. Route cables and hoses through
the cart handle as a means of cable
management (Fig. 12)
3. Ensure cart’s brake is locked (see
Brake Handle on page 7).
4. Place the congured MICROBE on
the scan surface (Fig. 13).
TIP: Use caution when placing
equipment on the scan
surface. The magnetized
wheels can cause the
assembly to jump towards
the inspection surface.
