You can now attach the SUPPORT ARM to the SLED by carefully aligning and
guiding the ARM POST all the way into the bottom of the SLED HANDLE as in
figures 14 and 15. After you have done this, hold onto the SLED HANDLE
firmly so that as you carefully lift the SLED straight up and out of the
DOCKING BRACKET, you can make sure that the weight of the SLED is in the
control of
your ARM and not the SPRING-LOADED SUPPORT ARM. Now
gradually let the SUPPORT ARM take over the job of holding the weight of the
SLED. If your SLED is
too heavy for the SUPPORT ARM at its current LOAD
SETTING, the weight of the SLED will angle the SUPPORT ARM downwards.
If your SLED is
too light for the SUPPORT ARM at its current LOAD
SETTING, the SLED will angle the SUPPORT ARM upwards.
If your SLED is the correct weight for the SUPPORT ARM at its current LOAD
SETTING, the ARM will remain level as in figure 16.
