Gripper Assembly Removal (9310 Only)
1. Enter the LSM using the proper procedures.
2. Position the transport to approximately waist height.
3. Extend the gripper by grasping and pulling out on the fingers.
4. Depress the ears on the gripper spring clip, release the gripper spring clip from the reach carriage, and
    slide the gripper free of the hand.

Gripper Assembly Replacement (9310 Only)
Note:
Make sure that the gripper identification label is facing away from the camera to avoid targeting errors.
1. Align the gripper solenoid armature with the solenoid coil, and slide the gripper into the hand.
2. Depress the ears on the gripper spring clip, align the clip to attach the spring clip to the reach carriage,
   and release.
3. Make sure that all 4 tabs on the gripper spring clip are in the slots on the reach carriage.
4. Restore LSM to online status.

Cartridge Fingers Removal (4410 Only)
1. Enter the LSM using the proper procedures.
2. Pin the Z channel to position the turntable at the proper height.
3. Remove the top screw attaching the top finger block to the gripper carriage (for the top cartridge finger),
    or remove the top and bottom screws attaching the top and bottom finger blocks to the gripper carriage
    (for the bottom cartridge finger).
4. Extend and separate the fingers to gain access to the 2 finger screws.
5. Remove these screws on the cartridge finger, and lift the finger and shims off the dowel pins on the finger
    block.

Cartridge Fingers Replacement (4410 Only)
1. Insert the shims previously removed between the replacement finger and the finger block, aligning with the 2 dowel pins.
2. Align the cartridge finger onto the dowel pins on the finger block.
3. Attach the finger to the finger block with the 2 screws previously removed.
4. Tighten the screws to a torque of 1.4 Nm (12 in.-lb.).
5. Attach the finger block(s) to the cartridge gripper with the screw(s) previously removed.
6. Tighten the screws to a torque of 1.4 Nm (12 In.-lb.).
7. Check the distance between the fingers using the following procedure:
    a. Close the fingers completely by manually turning the step motor.
    b. Locate the finger gauge, PN 4106933xx, in the Installation Tool Kit and place the thin part between
        the fingers.  If the thin part does not fit, remove shims until it does,  Is should move but not be loose.
    c. Take the thick part of the gauge and attempt to slide it between the closed fingers.  IF the block fits
        between the fingers without resistance, the fingers are too far apart and the shims must be increased.
    d. Clean the reach linear shaft with a lint-free cloth.  Do not lubricate any component on the hand
        assembly.
    e. Remover the locking pin(s) from the Z channel assembly and move the Z arm from limit to limit to
        check for unrestricted movement.
     f. Restore LSM to online status.
