How to Install the VL22 Motion Arm
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the VL22 Motion Arm for optimal performance.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, 1/8 inch Allen wrench, Spanner Wrench
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Bronze bushings, Flange Axles
- Install the mounting end
Remove the access cap and pass the Flange Axle through the plastic bushing and the arm. Install the bronze bushing between the arm and the mount, then screw the Flange Axle into the mount.
- Adjust the swivel friction
Remove the locking set screws using a 1/8 inch Allen wrench. Loosen the inner set screw approximately 3 turns, then turn the Flange Axle using the Spanner Wrench until the desired swivel friction is achieved.
- Adjust the counterbalance force
Lower the arm and insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the valve actuator hole. Pump the screwdriver gently to release gas from the spring until the counterbalance force is optimal. Always wear safety glasses during this adjustment.
