How to Install the VLPOST Arm System
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the VLPOST arm system, including mounting, wiring, and adjusting the counterbalance.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, 1/8 inch Allen wrench, Spanner wrench
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Bronze bushings, Flange axles
- Mount the VLPOST Arm
Remove the access cap and pass the Flange Axle through the plastic bushing and into the arm. Install the bronze bushing between the arm and the mount, then screw the Flange Axle into the mount.
- Install the Release Handle
Adjust the release cable by turning the black cable adjuster screw until the free-play in the release handle is approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Ensure that the cable runs inside the arm to release the locking mechanism.
- Adjust the Counterbalance Force
Lower the arm and insert a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the valve actuator hole. Gently move the screwdriver to release gas from the spring, reducing the counterbalance force. Repeat until the desired lifting force is achieved.
