6.3 Tightening Bracket Bolts

The bottom bracket is held to the aluminium clamp bar by two bolts. If either of these bolts is

loose or slightly tweaked out of shape, the pneumatic seal won’t hold. It is important that these

bolts be tight.

Warning:

Bottom Bracket bolts are tapped directly into the aluminium. If they are over-

tightened they may strip out the arm.

1. Check that the bolts on the bottom bracket are tight.

2. If the seal still leaks turn off the air, remove the bolts and apply thread sealant before re-

installing them.

3. Make sure that BOTH bolts are tight. If they are not then the bracket will not sit flush.
