25.1.2 Measure the distance between the bearing faces of the lower drive arm - dimension H.
25.1.3 Measure the distance between the bearing faces of the upper drive arm - dimension J.
25.1.4 Subtract G from H, divide by 2 and, using shims (39), assemble two shim packs to this
figure for the lower drive arm, allowing not more than 0.002 in. clearance.
25.1.5 Subtract G from J, divide by 2 and, using shims (39), assemble two shim packs to this
figure for the upper drive arm, allowing not more than 0.002 in. clearance.
25.2 Position LH and RH support caps on the balance mechanism, ensuring correct shims are
installed on drive arm pins.
NOTE: An extended 4 mm AF spherical-ended hex wrench (Vinten Part No. 3354-931TL) is
required to install the support caps.

vertical screws (15, 16) until just gripping, tighten the horizontal screw (1) fully, then tighten the vertical
screws fully.
25.4 Referring to
using Loctite 222E. Ensure correct length screws are used in appropriate positions. Tighten the vertical
screws (26, 27) until just gripping, tighten the horizontal screw (29) fully, then tighten the vertical screws
fully.
25.5 Ensure tilt brake is released, then operate balance mechanism through its range. Check for
freedom of movement, knocks or other irregularities.

26 To assemble the platform, proceed as follows
26.1 Slide the rack strip (29) into the slide plate (1) and secure with three Spirol pins (30).
26.2 Install two serrated discs (4) on the platform (28) and secure each with three screws (2) and
three spirol pins (3).
26.3 Affix the self-adhesive PTFE strip (11) to the platform.
26.4 Secure the front stop bung (9) (Vector 700H only) to the platform using Permabond ESP 110,

26.5 Secure the platform buffer (10) to the platform (or front stop bung (9)) using Loctite 415, ensuring
flat face faces forwards.
26.6 Lubricate the adjustment shaft assy worm (6), platform adjustment pinion (12) and both bearings
on adjustment shaft assy shaft (6) with LM grease.
26.7 Install platform adjustment pinion (12) in bearing bracket (13). Fit bearing bracket to adjustment
shaft assy (6) and position on platform. Secure bracket lightly with two screws (14).
Fig 6.3, secure LH support cap (18 or 20) to base (17) with three screws (1, 15 and
Fig 6.5, secure RH support cap (1) to base (28) with three screws (26, 27 and 29)
