Depth Wheel
N The end of the thread on the
screw (1) is peened over to ensure
that the wingnut (2) does not work
loose and be lost.
A very high torque has to be applied to
remove the wingnut from the screw. If
the parts are then reassembled, the
captive function is no longer
guaranteed. In such a case have the
screw and wingnut replaced by a
servicing dealer.
