the current position on the back deck plate before moving.
3. Remove gate assembly from gate bracket assembly.

screwdriver clockwise or counter-clockwise 360° so as to
move worn area of O-ring about 1/8 to 1/4 in. (3 to 6 mm).
See Figure 40.
5. Remove screwdriver and repeat for each ring as necessary.
6. Reinstall gate assembly and restore power.
