There are three adjustment points on the trigger – the frONT sTOp
TriggEr scrEw
, the rEar sTOp TriggEr scrEw, and the
spriNg TENsiON scrEw.
As standard each Etek Ego comes with a factory set trigger travel of
approximately2mmintotallength;onemillimeteroftravelbeforethering
pointandonemillimeteroftravelaftertheringpoint.
The frONT sTOp TriggEr scrEw is used to set the amount of trigger
travel prior to the marker ring. Turn this screwclockwise toreduce the
amount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger will be pushed
pasttheringpointandthemarkerwillnotwork.Turnthisscrewcounter
clockwise to increase the amount of trigger travel [sEE figurE 4.1].
The rEar sTOp TriggEr scrEw is used to set the amount of travel
afterthemarkerhasred.Turnthisscrewclockwisetoreducetheamount
of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger will be prevented from
reachingitsringpointandthemarkerwillnotwork.Turnthisscrewcounter
clockwise to increase the amount of travel [sEE figurE 4.2).
The spriNg TENsiON scrEw is used to adjust the amount of spring
tension behind the trigger when it is pulled. Turn the screw clockwise to
increase the amount of spring tension. Turn the screw counter clockwise to
reduce the amount of spring tension [sEE figurE 4.3].

1.EnsurethatyouareinSetUpmode(seepreviouspage).
2. Choose the parameter that you wish to modify.
3. Pull and hold the trigger. The value of the currently selected parameter
 isindicatedbyashingthethreelettersontheControlConsoleas 
previously described.
4.Whenthesequenceiscomplete,the“E”ontheControlConsoleis 

10.PushtheSelectpushbutton.The“E”,“G”and“O”willashthree 
times; if the colour is green then the value has been accepted, if the
value is red then the value has been rejected.
If the value is accepted, it will then be saved as the new value for that
parameter.
If the value is rejected, then the parameter will remain unchanged from how
it was before you began modifying it.
Note: To leave a parameter unchanged having already started to modify it,
simplysetanillegalvalue(00.0oranysingledigitgreaterthan9)andthe
value will consequently be rejected.
