Gantry Installation
NEVER SKIP AHEAD ON ANY STEP!
Put the Gantry on the Board
1. Before installation, look at the bottom set of Gantry wheels. The bottom wheels are spring-loaded, the top wheels are on a center-pivot (Fig A). Move the top set of wheels as needed for ease of installation (picture shows Gantry being put on Rail from back) (Fig B).

Fig A. Fig B. Fig A: Bottom set of wheels: Bottom are spring-loaded, top wheels are on a middle-pivot. Fig B: View from back of wheels being loaded onto Rail. 2. Before installation, look at the top set of Gantry wheels. Both sets of wheels are spring-loaded (Fig C). Wheels may need to be eased over the Rails (picture shows Gantry being put on Rail from back) (Fig D).

Fig C. Fig D. Fig C: Top set of wheels: Both are spring-loaded. Fig D: View from back of wheels being loaded onto Rail. 3. Hold the Gantry near the left side of the Board and line up the upper then lower wheels of the Gantry to the center channel of the rails (Fig E). NOTE: Installation is easier if you line up the upper wheels first, then slide the lower wheels onto the Rail. Sometimes having a second person for this step helps a lot. 4. Carefully ease the Gantry onto the left side of the Rails, taking care that all the wheels line up. Make sure that the Toothed Belt lies within the channel on either side and is not pinched between the Gantry and the Rail (Fig F). Upper and lower Gantry ends must be slid on at the same time.

Hooking up the Gantry and ST 500 Air Lines

Connecting the Board Cable *Be VERY CAREFUL when connecting the large Board Cable. Align the four in-line pins carefully before applying pressure to plug them in. If forced in incorrectly, they WILL cause malfunction of the Wizard Mat Cutting system.*
1. The Board Cable connects between the driver pack and the Gantry. The driver pack is the shoebox-sized peripheral with a round plug that the Board Cable plugs into. Connect the large Board Cable (Fig A) to back of the driver pack (Fig B) by aligning the four in-line pins and turning the locking ring until it seats itself and locks into place. 2. Connect the other end of the Board Cable to the back of the Gantry in the same manner (Fig C). 3. Move the Gantry to the far right of the Board and back to make sure the Board Cable does NOT get caught on anything. If the Board Cable is obstructed, this WILL affect your cuts.

Fig A. Fig B. Fig C. Fig A: Look for the 4 in-line pins on Board Cable. Fig B: Plug one end into back of the driver pack. Fig C: The other end is plugged into the back of the Gantry (two models shown).

Check Serial Number

1. Look at the Serial Number of your Board, which is located on a label in the lower left corner of the Board. If the Serial Number begins with BA-02, go to Attaching Air Lines BA-02-#####. Otherwise, follow the directions for Attaching Air Lines BA-03-######.

Fig A. Fig A: Check your Serial Number.

Attaching Air Lines: BA-03-#####

Do a test cut. Cut a rectangle that is about 2x24, NOT cutting the outside, with 2 borders. Measure the borders to the opening at the bottom of the mat closest to the vertical clamps, then measure the borders to the opening at the top of the mat closest to the vertical clamps. If the borders are not measuring 2 in both places, call Customer Support for assistance.
