Armrest/Upper Straight Shaft Assembly

In some countries the Sovereign GT is issued with an S-bend upper shaft and in
other countries it will have a straight shaft.
a)
Slide the handle (5) onto the upper end of the upper shaft (4)
and push it on about a foot.
b)
Place the two arm rest halves (6) on either side of the upper
shaft (4) and ensure that the bolt holes are aligned.
c)
Slide the nylon bolts (10) through the bolt holes
and screw the nylon wing nuts (11) onto the bolts
with a couple of turns (do not tighten).
d)
Slide the plastic control box bracket (9) into
the runners of the arm rest (6) & tighten the nylon
wing nuts by hand.
e)
Attach the arm rest straps (8) using the
press studs on both sides of the arm rest.

Push the arm rest straps through the slots
in the arm rest cover (7) and push the cover
over the arm rest.

Position your arm into the arm rest and slide the
handle (5) along the shaft into a comfortable position.
Tighten the two screws in the base of the handle with a
small screwdriver.
If your detector is supplied with the S-bend shaft, assembly will be identical except that you
will not have to assemble the separate handle
