Drive Pawl Engagement and Index Installation
1. Use care when handling the ORION endpoint and index to insure the endpoint rear drive pawl and the mating drive
pawls are not subjected to any physical abuse. Abuse may cause the spindles to become bent, misaligned or otherwise
inoperative.
When attaching an index to a ORION endpoint, make sure the index mounts securely to the endpoint. The front and rear
drive pawls must mate without causing any binding or potential for disengagement.
2. Align the two (2) screws in the endpoint holes. See Figure 14.
