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.
