  2. Slowly move the cradle all the way into the bore.
  3. Measure the distance from the service end of the cradle to the wall.
    • If the distance is 1 inch (25 mm) or less, the hard stop support block should be installed/reinstalled. The scan range should be set for short.
    • If the distance is greater than 1 inch (25 mm), the hard stop support block should not be installed. The scan range should be set for long.
