Tilt brake knob adjustment
Because its movement is restricted, the tilt drag knob (4) may also require adjustment after pro-
longed use:
To adjust the tilt brake knob:
Slide off the rubber tilt drag knob (3) as shown in (Fig 8) .
Loosen the drag clamp grubscrew (3.2) and remove the drag knob actuator (3.1) from the
drag shaft (3.3) .
Loosen the brake clamp grubscrew (4.1) and remove the tilt brake knob (4) from the brake
shaft (4.2) .
Turn the brake shaft (4.2) counterclockwise until the tilt brake is fully applied.
Install the knob (4) on the brake shaft (4.2) with the lever approximately 30° - 45° past ver-
tical, pointing downward toward the rear of the head, or as suitable to the operator.
Turn the knob fully clockwise and ensure that the brake is released. Turn the knob counter-
clockwise and ensure the brake is applied at a suitable position before the knob interferes
with other head controls.
Readjust as necessary and secure the knob with the clamp grubscrew (4.1) .
Refit the drag knob actuator (3.1) onto the drag shaft (3.3) and secure with the clamp grub-
screw (3.2) .
Push the rubber drag knob (3) back onto the actuator (3.1) .
