10. Control Arm Assembly
There are 2 types of control arm sets that could have been included with your machine. Please follow the instructions
for the type that was shipped with your machine.
Type 1 - with one threaded end, goes together as shown:
Each set of control arms is shipped as a pair of upper
and lower halves. Be careful not to switch the valve
and shoe lower half of the control arm.
If the lower halves of the control arms are mixed up,
the shorter of the two is for the shoe control arm.

Type 2 - has 2 threaded ends with a turnbuckle connecting them and goes together as shown below:
Left Hand
Thread
Right Hand
Thread
Once the control arms are
assembled proceed to the next step
for installation and adjustment.
Thread each rod an
equal amount into the
turnbuckle with gaps
between the nuts and
turnbuckle to allow
for adjustment.

11. Shoe Control Arm Installation and Adjustment
Type 1:
Install the shoe control arm through the guide hole (handle end first)
Adjust the length of the control arm by threading the
lower half of the arm into the upper half. The final
length of the arm should allow the drip guard to fully
cover the bottom of the transfer tube when the shoe is
in the raised position (shown to the right). Once the
final length is set tighten the adjustment nut.

Type 2:
Install the shoe control arm through the guide hole (handle end first)
Turn to Make Arm Longer
Turn to Make Arm Shorter
Adjust the length of the control arm by turning the
turnbuckle in the appropriate direction (shown above).
The final length of the arm should allow the drip guard
to fully cover the bottom of the transfer tube when the
shoe is in the raised position (shown to the right).
Once the final length is set, hold the turnbuckle in
position with an adjustable wrench and tighten both
nuts against the turnbuckle.

12. Valve Control Arm Installation and Adjustment
Type 1:
Install the valve control arm through the guide hole (handle end first).
Ensure that the retainer washer is in place to prevent the spring from
pulling through the guide hole.
Adjust the length of the control arm by threading the
lower half of the arm into the upper half. The final
length of the arm should result in the valve being
fully open (fully open valve position below) when the
arm is fully retracted (shown above/left).
⚠WARNING
Setting the control arm to a length that is too short will
cause over-rotation of the valve which could lead to
the valve jamming or falling out.
The valve should NEVER be rotated more than a few
degrees past the vertical position. The maximum
valve rotation is shown on the right.
Make sure to test and verify that your setup is free
from jams and over-rotations before using your
machine.

Type 2:
Turn to Make Arm Longer
Turn to Make Arm Shorter
Install the valve control arm through the guide hole (handle end first).
Ensure that the retainer washer is in place to prevent the spring from
pulling through the guide hole.
Adjust the length of the control arm by turning the
turnbuckle in the appropriate direction (shown on
the left) to make it longer or shorter.
The final length of the arm should result in the valve
being fully open (fully open valve position below)
when the arm is fully retracted (shown above/left).
Once the final length is set, hold the turnbuckle in
position with an adjustable wrench and tighten both
nuts.
