the OUTSIDE of the PRESS ADJUSTMENT TUBE (22) using the following steps:
• Thoroughly clean all sufaces where PARAGLIDE STRIPS (62) are to be attached.
• Remove the PARAGLIDE STRIPS (62) from the paper backing and firmly apply them to surfaces. (NOTE: Orientate the
strips so they will slide by each other.)
• Insert two 1/2” FLANGE BEARINGS (78) into the COUNTER LEVER (3) as shown in FIGURE 20.
• Assemble the PRESS ADJUSTMENT TUBE (22) to the COUNTER LEVER (3) using one 1/2 X 3-1/2” BOLT (90) and one 1/2”
