Adjusting the Carriage Rod

1. Replace the right and left bracket screws (part number 0515-2522). Do not tighten the new screws.
The washer, however, should just touch the bracket.

Note:

The screw/washer combination must be replaced with a larger washer to help ensure the old washer
indentation does not affect the new adjustment.

2. Attach the right adjustment tool to the right end of the mechanism as follows:

A. Align the fixed and spring loaded posts on the right adjustment tool with the two holes on the right

side of the mechanism, just below the carriage rod tip.

B. While pushing the spring loaded post, mount the right adjustment tool on the right side of the

mechanism. Then release the spring loaded post.

Note:

You may need to turn the micrometer knob in order to have both posts (fixed and spring loaded) align
with both holes on the side of the mechanism.

Note:

If the tool is properly mounted on the mechanism, the spring loaded post will remain depressed once
you release the post.

3. Remove the rod retainer from the left end of the mechanism.

Note:

A misaligned adjustment tool could damage the mechanism. To avoid this, verify that the bracket
screw on the left side is already loose. If not, loosen the screw now.

4. Attach the left adjustment tool to the left end of the mechanism as follows:

A. Align the left adjustment tool over the left edge of the mechanism.
B. Lower the left adjustment tool such that it straddles the left edge of the mechanism.
