Automatic Oiler Required You must confirm that the mill is regularly oiled. If you don't, there's a risk of motor faults. Use an Automatic Oiler Kit: 230 Vac (PN 38255).
Clean Machine Clean all chips and swarf from the machine with a bench brush and a dustpan.
...
ECMv1.5 Update Kit Required If you don't have an ECMv1.5 or later control board, you must first install the ECM1v1.5 Update Kit (PN 39257). For information, see the product's documentation.
Keep All Hardware To install the servo motors, you'll reuse many items currently used on the machine. Keep all hardware unless you're specifically instructed to discard it. If you don't, there's a risk that you won't have the hardware you need to complete the installation.
PathPilot v2.2.X or Later Required Only PathPilot v2.2.X and later has settings required to use a servo motor mill configuration. For information, go to "Update PathPilot".

To prevent coolant from entering the X-axis motor cover, you must first apply a layer of butyl tape Sikaflex before putting back the tool tray. Clean the surfaces of the X-axis motor cover and the tool tray with a mild degreaser (like Simple Green®) to make sure that the butyl tape Sikaflex bonds.
Find the roll tube of butyl tape Sikaflex provided with this kit, and the tool tray that you set aside in "Prepare the Machine".
Remove the cover paper, and then put strips of butyl tape Put a bead of Sikaflex along the top edges of the X-axis motor cover as shown in the following image.

Remove the remaining cover paper from the butyl tape strips.
...
Put a bead of Sikaflex around the screw holes on the bottom of the tool tray.
...
Remove the remaining cover paper from all butyl tape strips.
Attach the tool tray to the X-axis motor mount with the screws that you set aside in "Prepare the Machine".
Verify that the tool tray is flush with the machine table: move a 1-2-3 block (or similar) across the two surfaces. Depending on the result, do one of the following:
Tool Tray is Flush with the Machine Table Go to Step

From the PathPilot interface, select Reset.
Confirm that the machine can freely move to the reference position:
Reference the Z-axis before referencing the other axes so that the spindle is clear of any possible obstructions: from the PathPilot interface, select Ref Z.
Once the spindle is clear of any possible obstructions, select Ref X and Ref Y.
Depending on the result of Step 5, do one of the following:
Correct Movement Remove the set of two-by-fours on the machine table, and put back the drip tray that you set aside in "Prepare the Machine".
