Product catalog summary
Quick Start Guide: Installation and Adjustment
1. Model and Payload Compatibility: Ensure the model is suitable for your payload. The payload weight must be within the recommended range.
2. Initial Setup: For models BM-1 and BM-4, level the top plate using leveling screws while the red shipping collars are in place.
3. Positioning the Payload: Carefully place the payload on the top plate, ensuring its center-of-mass is as close to the center as possible.
4. Removing Shipping Collars: Remove the red shipping collars and replace the screws to serve as horizontal position indicators. If the payload covers the shipping collar holes, remove the collars before placing the payload.
5. Leveling the Top Plate: Reposition the payload if necessary to ensure the top plate is level. The gap should be equal on all sides.
6. Vertical Motion and Floating Isolator: The isolator must float between internal stops. Use the load adjustment crank to align the pin with the horizon line. Refer to the complete instructions if the pin cannot be easily positioned.
7. Horizontal Floating Adjustment: For BM-1 and BM-4, adjust leveling screws so the isolator floats horizontally, and the shipping collar screws are centered in their holes.
8. Oscillation Freedom: Adjust leveling screws to allow the payload to oscillate freely front to back and side to side if it covers the shipping collar holes.
9. Final Vertical Position Check: Recheck the vertical position indicator and adjust with the load adjustment crank if necessary.
10. Frequency Adjustment: Refer to the complete instructions for adjusting vertical or horizontal natural frequencies if applicable.
Caution: Do not adjust the vertical stiffness screw without reading the instructions.

Quick_Start Instruction Sheet v2:Layout 1 Quick Start www.minusk.com 1. Make sure you have the correct model for your payload. Payload weight MUST be within the recommended range. (A) 2. (For BM-1 and BM-4 only) With red shipping collars in place, level the top plate using leveling screws (A). CM 3. Carefully position payload on top plate so its center-of-mass (CM) is close to center as possible (B). For leveling top plate gap should be equal on all sides 4. Remove the red shipping collars (C). Replace the screws into the holes to serve as Horizontal Position Indicators. If payload covers shipping collar holes, collars must be removed before placing payload (D). Take extra care when placing payload without shipping collars attached. Do not replace screws as they may interfere with payload. 5. Reposition payload if necessary to level top plate (D). Horizon line Horizontal Position Indicator (C) 6. Internal stops limit vertical motion. Isolator must “float” between stops as indicated by the vertical position indicator (E). Turn load adjustment crank (F) to line up pin with horizon line. If pin cannot be easily positioned on line, see “Floating Isolator Vertically” in complete instructions. 7. (For BM-1 and BM-4 only) Adjust leveling screws so that the isolator is floating horizontally and the shipping collar screws are approximately centered in their holes (C). 8. If payload covers shipping collar holes, adjust leveling screws so payload can oscillate freely front to back and side to side. 9. Check Vertical Position Indicator (E) again and adjust with load adjustment crank (F) if necessary. Top View 10. To adjust frequencies, see “Vertical Natural Frequency” or “Horizontal Natural Frequency” if applicable in complete instructions. CAUTION: Do not turn vertical stiffness adjustment screw before reading instructions. 460 S.
