Loosen the two set screws on the front of the

bracket, then loosen the small set screw on top of

the bracket. You can then slide out the bolt and

bobbin around which the continuous force spring

is wound (top image). Be sure to hold the spring as-

sembly firmly to prevent it from unwinding from the

bobbin, which could damage it. Take care with the

metal edges of the spring, as they could potentially

cut your finger.

While you are holding the spring/bobbin/bolt, slide

the converter/probe bracket off the top of the rod

and replace it with the alternate spring bracket. You

can put the spring assembly into the new bracket

(middle image).

Use one of the two large set screws that were in

the converter/probe bracket to secure the alternate

spring bracket to the rod. Likewise, use the small set

screw that was in the converter/probe bracket to

secure the spring in the alternate spring bracket.

You can then adjust the height of the bracket to

where you would like it to be and firmly secure the

set screw. If you will need to secure some other kind

of bracket to hold an oversized converter/probe,

you will need to place the bracket as low as it will

go on the rod (lower image).

To reassemble the platform back inside the sound

enclosure, angle the top of the rod into the probe

chimney. Gently slide the bottom of the rod

through the hole in the bottom of the sound enclo-

sure. Align the top of the rod into the designated

hole at the top of the sound enclosure. Make sure

the platform faces the interior of the box with

enough clearance for the door to close. Secure the

rod in place by tightening the screw on the top of

the sound enclosure and reassembling the three

screws and bracket on the bottom of the sound

enclosure. Set the EpiShear Cooled Sonication

Platform upright and proceed to Calibration of the

Platform Counter on page 6.
