APPENDIX A – Installation on Other PDI-508C Arms
The suspension arm must be adjusted to the proper weight of the television in order to operate
correctly. PDI arm model “PDI-508C-7” is factory adjusted for the proper weight. If this television
is installed on a previously existing suspension arm, adjustment of the internal springs may be
required.
The PDI-P10LCD television must be installed on the arm before making this adjustment.
PROCEDURE:
EXISTING TELEVISION REMOVAL / LCD TELEVISION INSTALLATION:
1. Remove the safety brake pin from the nose
of the existing arm and install into the
parking brake hole at the base of the arm.
2. Remove the existing television from the arm.
The swivel retainer plate and nut will not be
needed for the new television.
3. Remove and discard the ¼-20 x ¾” Socket
Head Cap screw swivel retainer bolt from the
bottom of the nose.
4. Install the new LCD television onto the nose
by following the steps in the “Installing TV on Suspension Arm” section of this document.
ARM ADJUSTMENT:
Please refer to the “Arm Adjustment Illustration” on the following page.
1. Remove the elbow access cover.
2. Loosen each of four Brake Tension Screws ½ turn only. Brake Tension screws are
located on both sides of the base and nose. See “Brake Tension Screw Detail”
illustration.
3. Locate each internal spring’s 7/16” Hex head adjustment bolt.
4.
While maintaining a firm grip on the bottom of the television,
carefully remove the safety
brake pin from the parking brake hole at the base of the arm.
5. Adjust the Front Internal spring bolt.
WARNING
: DO NOT loosen more than 10 complete
turns. Any more turns beyond 10 will result in disconnecting the spring and
cause the
arm to fall,
rendering the arm useless and possibly causing personal injury.
6. Adjust the Rear Internal spring bolt.
WARNING
: DO NOT loosen more than 10 complete
turns. Any more turns beyond 10 will result in disconnecting the spring and
cause the
arm to fall,
rendering the arm useless and possibly causing personal injury.
7. After reaching the desired adjustment, re-tighten all four Brake Tension Screws.
8. Replace the elbow cover.
NOTE:
The internal springs are adjusted by loosening (counter-clockwise) to decrease the arm’s
lifting force, or tightened (clockwise) to increase the arm’s lifting force. As adjustments are
made, move the TV to different positions. The adjustment is correct when the TV can be
positioned without any creepage either up or down.
If you need assistance during this procedure, contact PDI’s Service Department at 937-743-6010.
