•Install the lifting handle with hexagon

•By unscrewing the winch (counter
clockwise) the arm will come out.
If the arm does not come out, bring the arm
just past the dead point with your hand.
•Tilt the column by turning the winch. If the
winch is operated there must be a visual
motion of the arm. If it does not, stop
turning and check.
•Keep turning until the column is tilted to the
buffer (at the height of the hinge point).
Make sure that the column is lowered slowly.
Depending of the column height the angle is
variable
.
•After maintenance, the column can be raised.
The reverse operations must be carried out.
Attention:
Make sure that the cord isn’t twisted, when the
column is tilt back into straight position. This to
prevent that the cord will be stuck in between
parts, which can lead to damage on the cord.
Always keep a light tension on the cord!
