stageonesimmo Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Push down and twist in either direction until it locks down. Same to take off, but some will pop-up on their own when you go forward again - not sure for definite if they are meant to do that, but they do Main problem is usually that the draught eye isn't all the way out - it needs to be for the lock to work - it cant engage if the eye is pushed in over about 1/2" from memory - can look up the details in the AESP tomorrow at work if you get stuck, may even have a new sticker lying about - what type of damper is it (thats important as there a millions of trl/damper combinations over the years) Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers - appreciate the help. All the local reme places etc are closing up - everybodys on gardening leave so no resources any more Will the details be in some of those user and maintainer manuals for the widetrack advertised on ebag?

stageonesimmo Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Stevie, I can have a look about at work and see if we have any bumf on that damper type or some new stickers for it...... - the 'X' in the no 10 box is the 'Modification State' (or MOD state for short), for the damper assembly - if improvements are made after it is procured it is common for them to be withdrawn from stock, modified, stamped as such and put back into stock, or its often done when the unit is overhauled after being returned through the stores system. Not much use to you, but hey, you asked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
