Turn the motor hard over to port Figure 14. That will retract the Cylinder rod into the Cylinder. Check that the
Cylinder rod is still free to retract at least a little more. Next turn the motor hard over to starboard Figure 15.
That will extend the Cylinder rod out of the Cylinder. Check that the Cylinder rod is still free to extend at least
a little more. It should have additional travel in both directions. If it does not adjust the position of the Rod Eye
(item 31) on the Cylinder shaft. The Cylinder shaft should turn with your ngers if the Hex Jam Nut (item 33) is
loose. (If the shaft does not turn freely enough, use a thin 1/4 Inch open end wrench at the shaft’s wrench ats.)
Do not use any tool on the cylindrical part of the Cylinder shaft. If the shaft gets scratched, bent, or dinged the
seal will fail. With the cylinder properly adjusted, secure it by tightening the Hex Jam Nut against the Rod Eye
after putting a little thread lock between them. It is ready for plumbing. We suggest you put the original parts
in a container and, carefully store them. (You may eventually want to sell or trade in your motor, but we know
you will want to keep your TR-1 Autopilot.)
