Tables for Approaching the Locking Points
The extent to which the telescope cylinder has to be
extended in order to reach a locking point depends on
whether you:
- Want to lock the telescope cylinder or
- lock a telescopic section.
Locking Points for the Telescoping Cylinder
The following table shows the extended length for locking the
telescoping cylinder.
Locking Points for the Telescopic Sections
Refer to Figure 3-188.
The locking pin must not engage the telescopic section for
locking or unlocking it.
The notch (1) must be clear. That is why you have to extend
the telescoping cylinder 0.38 in (35 mm) further than with a
return run.
The following table shows the extended length for locking
and unlocking the telescopic sections.
