2. Place the two ratchets, one on either side of the transducer knuckle,
so that the beads on each ratchet line up with the desired position
number on the knuckle. If you are setting the ratchets at position 1,
the beads on each ratchet will line up with the rib on the transducer
knuckle to form one continuous line on the assembly.
NOTE:
The ratchets are keyed; make sure that the square teeth on each ratchet face
the square teeth on the transducer knuckle, and the triangular teeth face outward.
Hold the ratchets on the transducer knuckle with one hand and fit
the pivot arm over them until it snaps into place with the other
hand. Refer to the illustration.
