1. Follow the steps outlined in
Opening an End of the Articulated Arm
on
page 1-9 to remove the trim cover from the end of the outer section of
the Articulated arm.
2. Drop the outside section of the arm to a position to easily access the
adjustment nut (approximately 30° off of horizontal).
Note!
For the following step, a minimum 7 ½" (190 mm) long Allen wrench is
required. A T-handled Allen wrench is recommended. If a standard Allen
wrench is used, additional leverage may be needed to turn the nut.
3. Insert an 8 mm Allen wrench about 8 inches long through the hole at the
end of the arm and into the adjustment nut.

4. If the arm section is drifting either up or down, rotate the adjustment nut
in the needed direction until the drifting stops:
– Rotate clockwise to increase the upward force on the arm.
– Rotate counterclockwise to decrease the upward force on the arm.
Note!
If you need to turn the screw more than three times, contact Gendex
Technical Support.
Note!
You can not unscrew the adjustment nut completely.
5. Continue turning the nut in the same direction counting the turns until
the arm starts to move in the opposite direction. Then turn the
adjustment nut the opposite direction ½ the number of turns counted.
6. Follow the steps outlined in
Closing an End of the Articulated Arm
on
page 1-10 to install the trim cover and restore power.
