ATTACH COUNTERWEIGHTS

Line up a fixed counterweight's 4 bolts with the four

threaded holes in the Dec assembly base. The weights

can only be positioned with indentations lined up in a

vertical orientation.

Slide the bolts into the threaded holes and tighten each

securing knob by hand until it reaches the top. Then use

a 1/4" shaft, such as a Phillips screwdriver to turn the

knob very tight.

Screw in counterweight shaft until it reaches the hard

stop.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screw in the

head of counterweight shaft to secure it in place.
