Adjusting the Quad-Link Retractable Mount

NOTE: This procedure is for quad-link retractable mounts manufactured before 4/7/06. For quad- link retractable mounts manufactured after 4/6/06, refer to the quad-link instruction sheet, part number 1134844.

Adjusting Lock/Release Tension

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 13.5 on page 125.

NOTE: The amount of force required to lock and release the quad-link can be adjusted by changing the position of the spring loaded ball plungers located on the underside of each Swivel Block.

1.Loosen the ¼-inch locknut.

2.With a slotted screwdriver, turn the ball plunger clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to decrease tension.

CAUTION

DO NOT adjust the ball plungers too deep into the swivel blocks or damage to the ball plunger and swivel links will occur. The ball plungers should be adjusted so that a “click” can always be heard when the swivel links are extended and retracted.

3.Once the desired tension is achieved, hold the position of the ball plunger with a slotted screwdriver and tighten the lock nut.

4.Repeat STEPS 1-3 for the other ball plunger.

CAUTION

DO NOT over-tighten the locknut, otherwise damage to the ball plunger will occur.
