the beads on each ratchet will line up with the rib on the transducer

knuckle to form one continuous line on the assembly.

NOTE: The ratchets are keyed; make sure that the square teeth on each

ratchet face the square teeth on the transducer knuckle, and the triangular

teeth face outward.

Hold the ratchets on the transducer knuckle with one hand and fit the

pivot arm over them until it snaps into place with the other hand.
