ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
There should be enough friction on propel control lever to hold lever in position while vibratory
system is operating.
1.
Turn adjuster (Figure 1, Item 2) to obtain desired propel control lever tension. Turning adjuster
counterclockwise decreases tension, turning adjuster clockwise increases tension.
2.
Lift boot (Figure 1, Item 1) to expose pivot bracket (Figure 1, Item 3).
3.
Wipe pivot bracket (Figure 1, Item 3) with rags and apply grease to increase smoothness of propel control
lever.
