which may be removed from the rear of the unit. Remove the knob boss/threaded shaft (19) and the
two thrust washers and the thrust race (13) from the outer boss, noting orientation of components for
assembly. Discard ‘O’ ring (14) from the knob boss/threaded shaft and ‘O’ ring (29) from the actuator
cam shaft (30).

discard ‘O’ ring (23).
12.5 Remove and discard gasket (3).
12.6 Pull assembled drag shoes and actuator links off two dowel pins (10).
12.7 Pull drag shoe assemblies (5, 28) off dowel pins (4) in actuator links (6, 26).
12.8 Remove Spirol pins (9) attaching extension spring (8) to actuator links (6, 26).
12.9 Slacken grubscrew (25) and drive out dowel pin (27) to separate actuator links (6, 26)
12.10 Remove dowel pins (4) from actuator links (6, 26) if required.
12.11 Remove two dowel pins (7), two dowel pins (10) and dowel pin (1) from the tilt drag cover (24) if
required.
NOTE: An extended 3 mm AF spherical-ended hex wrench (Vinten Part No. 3354-931TL) is
required to remove the tilt drag mechanism.
The tilt drag mechanism contains Vinten fluid No. 3. A good supply of clean rags should be
to hand.
