Attaching an Angled Low Swivel to the 6" Locking Arm

To attach an Angled Low Swivel, remove the Nylok Nut, Steel Bearing Backup Plate, the
Top Nylon Bearing, and the supplied 0-90° Clevis from the assembly. Place the Angled Low Swivel
onto the 3/8" stud so it rests on the Bottom Nylon Bearing. Attach the Angled Low Swivel in place
with the Top Nylon Bearing, Steel Bearing Backup Plate, and the Nylock Nut that were removed
when you first removed the bearings from the original clevis configuration. Tighten the Nylok Nut
until the desired friction is obtained for the rotation of the Angled Low Swivel. (See Figure 2)

How to use the 6" Locking Slide Arm:

The 6" Locking Slide Arm is designed to accommodate four motions of adjustment. The
first being a 360 degree swivel that is actuated by the front handle. Pulling out on the
handle releases the gear latch located in the base and allows the mount to swivel. To
latch the arm in place, position the arm in the desired location and release the spring
loaded handle. Wiggle the arm back and forth to make sure the handle has engaged
the teeth on the gear.
The second motion is the slide. To activate the slide, tighten the 1/4" flat washers and
nylok nuts (accessable through the underside of the assembly) so they are snug but not
locked down. The third motion is the clevis 360° swivel. Tightening or loosening the Nylock
Nut on the clevis will adjust the friction of Clevis rotation. The fourth motion is the Clevis tilt.
7160-0500 comes with a 0-90° tilt Clevis. The 7160-0502 comes with an Angled Low Swivel
and does not tilt.
