Installation: Adjustments
Parallel Adjustment
In order to carry out parallel adjustments:
1. Ensure that the main covers of the spring arm have been removed and the lighthead has been installed to the
spring arm.
2. Locate the parallel adjustment window [1] in the spring arm body and the parallel adjustment nut [2]. (Depending
on its first calibration, the spring arm may have to be moved up or down to bring the nut into view.)
3. Insert the adjustment tool [3] into one of the holes on the nut.
4. Rotate the nut counter clockwise to bring the lighthead end of the spring arm INWARD, towards the rest of the
spring arm.
5. Rotate the nut clockwise to bring the lighthead end of the spring arm OUTWARD, away from the rest of the spring
arm.
6. Replace the covers.
4. If the spring arm has a tendency to drift down, the spring tension is too low. Tighten the nut until the drift is
eliminated and the spring arm supports the load evenly.
5. If the spring arm has a tendency to drift up, the spring tension is too high. Loosen the nut until the drift is
eliminated and the spring arm supports the load evenly.
6. Replace the covers.
