Remove RotoForce-4 from the transportation box. Save the nut
and the washer holding RotoForce-4. They are to be re-used when
mounting RotoForce-4 on RotoPol-21/-22/-25 or Rotopol-1/-2/-V.
Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the location and
names of the RotoForce-4 components.

Lift off the cap covering the supporting hole placed on the top
of the RotoPol-31 cabinet with a knife.
Likewise remove the two caps covering the fastening screws on
the left-hand side of the RotoPol cabinet.
Remove the black stop ring from the supporting column of
RotoForce-4.
Lead the supporting column of RotoForce-4 down into the
supporting hole in RotoPol-31. Turn the column until the cross
pin in the bottom of the column gets caught by the guiding
slots inside RotoPol-31.
Tighten the two fastening screws on the left-hand side of the
RotoPol-31 cabinet and cover the screws again with the two
caps.
Adjust the height of RotoForce-4 in relation to the preparation
disc:
− Mount a preparation disc on RotoPol-31.
− Mount a specimen mover plate in the coupling of
RotoForce-4.
− Lower RotoForce-4 into working position (see The Handle
in Section Operation).
− Measure the distance between the specimen mover plate
and the preparation disc. The correct distance is 1 -
1.5 mm.
If the distance is not correct, an adjustment has to be made:
− Move RotoForce-4 into upper position and secure it there
(see The Handle in Section Operation)
− Disengage the stop ring by loosening the retaining screw.
− Move the stop ring into correct position and fasten the
retaining screw again.
− Lower RotoForce-4 into working position and measure
the distance again. If it is still not correct, repeat the last
3 steps until the correct distance is obtained.

Place two working tables of equal height at a distance about
half the length of RotoPol. Place RotoPol between the tables,
carefully balancing the machine, until it stands firmly between
the tables.
RotoPol-21/-22/-25: Remove the cap covering the supporting
hole between the two turntables.
Rotopol-1/-2/-V: The transportation case for Rotopol includes
a printed template. Punch out the pre-cast hole in Rotopol
with a round-headed hammer as follows: strike the circle on
the template marked RotoForce-4 with a firm blow. Remove
the template when the hole opens.
Lead the supporting column of RotoForce-4 down into the
supporting hole of RotoPol.
Turn the column until the cross pin in the bottom of the
column gets caught by the guiding slots inside RotoPol.
Fasten the nut and washer from the transportation box tightly
under the column of RotoForce-4 below RotoPol.
Adjust the height of the specimen mover in relation to the
preparation disc:
− Mount a preparation disc on RotoPol.
− Mount a specimen mover plate in the coupling of
RotoForce-4.
− Lower RotoForce-4 into working position (see the handle
procedure in Section Operation).
− Measure the distance between the specimen mover plate
and the preparation disc. The correct distance is 1 -
1.5 mm.
If the distance is not correct, an adjustment has to be made:
− Move RotoForce-4 into upper position and secure it there
(see The Handle in Section Operation)
− Disengage the stop ring by loosening the retaining screw.
− Move the stop ring into correct position and fasten the
retaining screw again.
− Lower RotoForce-4 into working position and measure
the distance again. If it is still not correct, repeat the last
3 steps until the correct distance is obtained.
