CABLE TRACK INSTALLATION:

Note: It may be easier to route your cables
through the track prior to fastening. The
cables for the Z axis go through both sets of
cable track. The cables for the Y axis go
though only the lower cable track. The X axis
does not use an extension cable, this motor
plugs directly into the control box.
Lower Cable Track
1. Lay out the longer cable track along
the base of the router.
2. Attach the cable track to the brackets
on the base and gantry cross bar using M5
screws. See pages 7 and 11 for bracket
locations.
Upper Cable Track
1. Install M6 x 35 screw through cable
track into motor mount, with hex nut on
either side of the cable track.
2. Secure the flange of the cable track to
the closer slot of the gantry extrusion using
the M5 roll-in t-nut and flat head screw.
Plug the provided emergency stop unit into
the port labeled "E-Stop". This allows the
motors to be enabled
