CHANGING THE LOCK SIDE WHILE KEEPING THE SAME PLATE POSITION
Reverse the footplate position as above indicated on point 1 of the chapter
"reversing the footplate".
The footplate is fixed with the rotation tube B and the lock tube C with two bolts
D each.
Lift the footplate.
Remove the 2 bolts D on the lock side B and slide the support off the footplate.
Remove the 2 bolts D on the rotation side C and slide the footplate off.
Should the bolts be too hard to unscrew, you will have to heat them up in order
to make the thread lock glue lose its efficiency.
Spread some strong thread lock glue on the bolts D.
Insert the lock tube C into the other side of the footplate and fix the bolts D.
Assemble the rotation tube to the support C1 so that the rotation of is upward
(the corner of the extremity of the tube must be assembled at the bottom).
The tube C is made in two parts fixed together by means of a cylindrical pin that
also works as full stroke of the 180° rotation along the slot.
The correct fixing of the footplate to the tube C has to allow the footplate, after
lifting it up, to rotate front and backward moving upward.
Partly insert the footplate onto the tube C and align the front hole of the footplate
and the external hole of the tube C.
Holding the two parts, check that the rotation is upward. If the rotation is down-
ward, hold the footplate and turn only the tube C by 180°. Check the rotation
again.
Spread some mild or strong thread lock glue on the bolts D.
Likewise, insert the footplate along the tube B making the hole coincide. Then fix
the two bolts D.
Adjust the footplate inclination following the instruction of the chapter "angle
adjustment".
FRICTIONING THE ROTATION
To adjust the friction of the footplate rotation movement, tighten or loosen the
bolt A.
It is advisable to remove the bolt, squeeze a little part of its thread with a wrench,
spread a drop of strong thread lock glue, insert it and screw it. In fact, the move-
ment of the footplate can lead that bolt to unscrew itself. Usually, when the foot-
plate is lifted up the adjustment holds it in place.
