If it is too difficult to adjust roll of plasma, loosen screws shown in figure 9.1 using a phillips screwdriver.
IMPORTANT! Do not loosen or tighten screws more than 1/8 turn.
Depending on the specific size & weight of the plasma, articulating swing arm may be angled at different positions,
causing plasma to appear to lean sideways at different articulating positions. Tilt-roll assembly (B) allows plasma to
be manually adjusted, so plasma can be horizontal at all positions.To adjust, gently rotate plasma by hand to desired
position.
