-[* 9] Be careful with this steps as you might damaged the lead screw nuts (black nuts on the X ends).
+[* 9] Be careful with this step as you might damage the lead screw nuts (black nuts on the X ends).
[* 7] Place the X axis on top of the Z lead screws. Carefully rotate by hand the Z lead screw to engage and move down the X axis.

[* 9] Rotate the lead screws in synchronization.
[* 5] Continue to rotate the Z lead screws ***simultaneously*** until you can align the top X smooth rod with the bottom of top Z axis extrusion.
- [* 9] Verify the X axis is parallel.
-[* 8] ***Very gently*** slide the two Z smooth rods (320mm long) down to the Z motors. Make sure you could hear the Z smooth rods touching the motor surface indicating they are fully inserted.
- [* 9] Verify the Z smooth rods are fully inserted (you can hear when they are touching the Z motors).
+ [* 9] Verify the X axis is parallel and make correction if necessary.
+[* 8] ***Very gently*** slide the two Z smooth rods (320mm long) down to the Z motors. The smooth rods must be fully inserted until they touch the Z motors (you can hear a "metallic click" when you reach the motor).
+ [* 9] Verify the Z smooth rods are fully inserted down to the Z motors. This is very important as it might affect the alignment of your X axis later.
