    Figure 2. Gantry Tilt Bracket Removal

  2. Loosen the M16 bolt 1-2 turns and check the gantry tilt bracket; it should be loose to the touch. If the tilt bracket is loose, continue with step 3.

    • If the tilt bracket is loose, proceed to Step 3.

    • If the tilt bracket is NOT loose, check the hydraulic connections for leaks or lack of fluid. You must wait until the system can be energized to use the tilt controls to relieve the load on the tilt bracket prior to removal. Do not use force to remove the bracket.

  3. If the bracket feels loose, remove the M16 bolt using a 14 mm Hex wrench.
  4. Remove the bracket.
  5. Reinstall the gantry rear covers and the scan window.
