Tighten the locking lever:
■ Make sure the teeth in the adjustment joint mesh together.
■ Manually tighten the locking lever.
■ Use a hammer to hit the locking lever to further tighten the lower serrated joint until the
bore and the groove for the splint pin are aligned
4. Insert the splint pin.
5. Check if:
■ the teeth in the adjustment joint are fully engaged.
■ The locking lever is tight.
■ The split pin is correctly inserted to secure the locking lever (see 3 in Fig. 27).
