2. Follow the on-screen instructions. First, open the door.
3. The Magnetic Assembly will move down to allow you to remove the Magnetic Assembly Rod. Do not push
down on the magnetic rod assembly if the instrument is turned on.
4. Unscrew the three thumbscrews on top of the
magnetic rod assembly.
5. Gently lift the SEV Magnetic Rod Assembly and remove it.
6. Insert the black LEV Plunger Bar Adaptor onto the
bottom of the remaining arm. Make sure that the side
containing the screws faces upward. Several magnets
will "click" and hold the LEV Plunger Bar Adaptor in
place once it is attached. The LEV Plunger bar then
should be fairly difficult to remove. Make sure that the
LEV Plunger Adaptor is even with the blue arm and
seated flat along its full length.
