BRAKE TENSION SCREW

LEVITATION AIR SCREW

Figure 1-2. Bottom Panel

The brake spring wire (see Figure 1-3) forces the brake pin up into
the rotor bottom during braking. Occasional adjustment of the spring
tension, using the BRAKE TENSION adjusting screw located on the
back panel (see Figure 1-4), may be necessary.
When the timer reaches zero at the end of a run, the driving air is
turned off and levitation air supports the rotor during its deceleration.
If the flow of levitation air is too high and the rotor fails to stop
completely, or too low and the rotor stops too fast, adjustment of the
LEVITATION AIR screw located on the rear panel may be necessary.
