2. Initiate the mast and raise one section.
3. Remove the RCP cover to access the flags. The pan and tilt flags are attached to the timing
rings on the horizontal and vertical shaft gears (Figure 7-2). The tilt timing ring has two set
screws that must be loosened. The pan timing ring has two cap screws that must be
loosened. It may be necessary to loosen one in each, then pan and tilt the unit to access the
others. Note: The flags have sharp edges that may cause cuts.

4. Once the set screws are loose, pan and tilt the unit to the correct home position. Be careful
that the flags do not come into contact when panning and tilting, or they may be bent.
5. The pan and tilt functions have two photo sensors for each function. It is important that the
flags engage the correct photo sensor from the proper direction when setting the home
position. To set the Tilt Home Position, turn the timing ring on the tilt shaft such that it rotates
counterclockwise towards the photo sensor (see Figure 7-3). As you approach the sensor,
watch the controller. As soon as the "Tilt Down" LED goes out, stop rotating the ring and
tighten the set screw. This should be roughly 80% penetration into the sensor with the flag.
