1. Retract mast completely, and check each sequenc-
ing cable on outside of masts for excessive slack.
Adjust only to remove slack from cable.
2. Tighten nylock-nut just enough to remove excessive
slack from sequencing cable. The springs should
not be compressed more than 25% after adjusting.
3. Run mast through several cycles to verify cable/
chain adjustments and ensure no interference exists
between chain anchor brackets and mast.
