Procedure
- Park the machine on a flat, level surface.
- Level the base of the alarm by tightening each of the three flange nuts to take up approximately one half of its spring's travel.
- Do not adjust the nut on the 90 degree corner during the remainder of the adjustment procedure.
- Slowly tighten the nut on one of the two corners adjacent to the 90 degree corner until the LED just turns on; note the position of the nut.
- Loosen the nut counting the number and fraction of turns until the LED lights up again; divide that number by two and tighten the nut by this number.
- Adjust the nut on the other corner adjacent to the 90 degree corner in the same manner.
- Test the tilt alarm for proper function.
