ASSEMBLY
Rotation check: To check the rotation, hold the front
of the arm with one hand and grasp the top of the
column support with the other. Press the arm to the
side. If there is play between the column support
and the column tube, it needs to be adjusted.
See
Figure 20B.

Elevation Adjustment: If the elevation check did not
show any play between the column tube and the
support, go to the rotation adjustment. Othenwise,
raise and lower the arm with the elevating hand­
wheel. Tighten the black screws on the right side of
the column support by 1/16th to 1/8th of a turn.
Tighten the two silver screws on the left side
slightly more. You will need two 1/2 in. wrenches or
sockets. Turn the elevating handwheel again. If the
column tube binds, loosen the silver and black
screws and turn the handwheel again. See Figure
20C.
When the elevation is smooth, check for looseness
again by pressing upward on the front of the arm.
Repeat the previous step until elevation is smooth
with no play between the column tube and the
column support.

between the radial arm and the column. The cap
screws are indicated by arrows.
See Figure 20D.
Recheck the rotation by holding the front of the
