Damper Adjustment:
Due to large variations in ambient temperature
or wear, the hydraulic damper adjustment may
be required. Example; in very cold temperatures
damping should to be reduced if the rotor can not
quickly return to rest position following rotation.
In warm areas, if the rotor fails to stop smoothly at
the rest position and oscillates then the damping
should be increased.
Before adjusting the damper, loosen the dial
stop screw with 1.2 mm. Allen key taped on the
mechanism.
Caution!
To prevent damage due to bottoming
out of the damper during operation, ensure that
there is approximately 3 mm. clearance between
the damper head and the body when the damper
arm is fully pushed in. Use loctite on damper
mounting nuts to prevent loosening by vibration
if clearance adjustment is performed.
Note:
Damping factor is increased when dial is turned
clockwise.
Once the adjustment is done, tighten the stop
screw while holding the dial steady with the other
hand.
Caution!
Dial is very sensitive. It must be adjusted
carefully in small increments.
