Tilt brake knob adjustment

Because its movement is restricted, the tilt drag knob (4) may also require adjustment after pro-

longed use:

To adjust the tilt brake knob:

Slide off the rubber tilt drag knob (3) as shown in (Fig 8).

Loosen the drag clamp grubscrew (3.2) and remove the drag knob actuator (3.1) from the

drag shaft (3.3).

Loosen the brake clamp grubscrew (4.1) and remove the tilt brake knob (4) from the brake

shaft (4.2).

Turn the brake shaft (4.2) counterclockwise until the tilt brake is fully applied.

Install the knob (4) on the brake shaft (4.2) with the lever approximately 30° - 45° past ver-

tical, pointing downward toward the rear of the head, or as suitable to the operator.

Turn the knob fully clockwise and ensure that the brake is released. Turn the knob counter-

clockwise and ensure the brake is applied at a suitable position before the knob interferes

with other head controls.

Readjust as necessary and secure the knob with the clamp grubscrew (4.1).

Refit the drag knob actuator (3.1) onto the drag shaft (3.3) and secure with the clamp grub-

screw (3.2).

Push the rubber drag knob (3) back onto the actuator (3.1).
