6.7 Inclination system
Remove the cover of the motor drive unit. Loosen the socket screw of the mounting
bracket of the elevation feedback potentiometer. Turn the gear wheel of the
potentiometer away from the driven gear wheel. Switch on the main supply, the inclination
system will move to the lowest position and you must switch the main power supply OFF
BEFORE the wheels contact the housing. Turn the potentiometer fully clockwise (seen from
the left side of the Valiant). Turn the bracket back to the position where both gear wheels
connect. Turn the gear wheel of the potentiometer half round anti-clockwise, without moving
the driven gear wheel, before fastening. After adjustment of the potentiometer a functional
test of the inclination system should be carried out.
Caution:
There must be some tolerance between the gear wheel of the potentiometer and the
gear wheel of the elevation unit. This is to avoid damage of the potentiometer.
Inclination system lubrication
The gearing wheels and spindle should be lubricated annually with white grease.
