2. Loosen screw (2) and remove twist stop (1).
3. Remove screw (3), lower arm (4), rod (5) and spring (6).
4. Check rod and lower arm for wear, and replace if necessary.
5. Clean the rod and install it in the lower arm.
Note: The lower arm should move easily and smoothly.

the twist stop.

O-Rings
With time and use, O-rings can become brittle. This can cause poor operation or failure. Always check
O-rings when performing work on the positioner, and replace any brittle O-rings.
Note: A thin layer of silicon grease applied on the O-rings prolongs their life.
