clapper/stir wire assembly side-to-side
until the stir wire is in the correct
position relative to the slot. Make
sure to maintain the previously noted
Make sure the stir wire
does not rub on the
sides of the slot in the
mandrel.

the space should be about .04

Bottom of sample probe
should rest on this level.
