APPENDIX F - VS-27Y Clamp Assembly
The VS-35Y Clamp assembly holds the DV-III+ on the upright rod and thus supports it on the base. The
parts are shown in Figure F1.
Figure F1
If the clamp is taken off the upright rod, the tension insert (Part No. VS-29) must be properly aligned for
the clamp to fit back onto the upright rod.
When the tension insert (Part No. VS-29) is inserted, its slot must be in the vertical position parallel to
the upright rod. If the slot is not in the correct position, the clamp will not slide down over the upright
rod. Use a small screw driver or pencil to move it into the correct position. The VS-29W Belleville spring
washers must face each other as illustrated. Adjust the VS-28 tension screw so that the clamp assembly
is not loose on the upright rod.
