Installing the FLX
•There are two methods used for shipping the unit, assembled and non-
assembled.
•We will focus on the non-assembled method first.

Non-assembled Setup
1. With the help of an assistant, install the
lower plate under the two leg assemblies, as
shown.
2. Attach with mounting hardware, four SHCS
1/4-20 x 5 long with1/4” split washers, both
sides.

3. Remove both top covers (six mounting
screws).
4. With an assistant, lift overhead into place
on top of leg assemblies.
WARNING This scanner requires a two person lift. Failure to comply may cause bodily
injury. Two adults are required to assemble this scanner.

5. Ensure the pins on rear of the overhead are
seated into the holes on leg assemblies.
6. When seated properly, overhead locks into
place. To ensure safety, the overhead should
still be supported by an assistant until
mounted.

7. From rear of scanner, secure overhead with mounting hardware, two SHCS1/4-20 x 5/8
long with 1/4” split washers, both sides.

8.The scanner must be checked for
square, prior to installing the
mounting hardware at the top of the
overhead.
9.Hook a tape-measure on bottom
rear edge of scanner, as shown.
10.Run the tape diagonally to the
upper open corner, as shown and
record the measurement.
Measurement should be
approximately 65-3/8” [166cm].
11.Take the same measurement on
the opposite corners and record
measurement.
The two measurements must be
identical + 1/16” [1.6mm]. If
measurements are not within
tolerance, push the top of the
scanner to the right or left and re-
measure.

12. From top of scanner, secure overhead with mounting hardware, two SHCS 1/4-20 x
5/8 long with 1/4” split washers, both sides.

Assembled Setup
13. With the help of an assistant, tilt the
scanner to install the glides under the four
feet (corners of scanner).
14. Slide the scanner into place and remove
the glides.
15. Position patient chair on gantry base.
Ensure base frame centering screw is seated
within patient chair centering block.
16. Loosely secure patient chair to gantry (4
bolts). Do not tighten.
CAUTION Care must be taken when sliding the scanner into place. To prevent the
scanner from scratching the floor surface, place the four glides under the scanner feet.

17. Remove four long screws from red shipping plate. Keep shipping plate attached
with remaining hardware.
•Do NOT discard mounting hardware. Long screws used for receptor assembly
mounting and short screws for source assembly.
