Adjustment and maintenance of screws on the Archer 2 gimbal

What the thread found

  • The three through-holes with set screws on top of the Archer 2 gimbal are remnants from a previous model and do not require adjustment.
  • The screws that hold down the top cap or plate should be kept tight but do not serve an adjustment function.
  • Set screws that disappear into holes between other screws are spacer fillers and should be tightened gently without excessive force.
  • Gimbal centering adjustment is performed using trunnions located on each side of the gimbal, not the screws on top.
  • Gimbal centering requires a testing procedure to verify alignment and a separate procedure to adjust it if needed.
  • Professional dealer service is recommended for gimbal centering adjustment rather than attempting it without experience.

Depends on

  • The exact step-by-step centering procedure was not detailed in the discussion.
  • The discussion references work done in the past without confirming current procedures are identical.
  • No guidance provided on when centering adjustment would be necessary or what symptoms indicate misalignment.
