If the port is installed before the

After installing the port, turn the Zoom Control knob on the
housing. If the Zoom Control is difficult to turn, the gear sleeve
may be warped. If so reduce or omit any rubber installed on the
Zoom Clamp. (Fig.H on pg.11).
If the Zoom Clamp is still warped,
use of the #5509.28 package may be required. (See page 7)
