Dial cord routing instructions

 

Instructions for 229, 229A 238, 4229 dial cord routing:

1. Turn the inductor fully clockwise to the stop.
2. Tie the nylon cord through the hole in the left side of the dial pointer.
3. Tie the black stretch cord through the hole in the right side of the pointer.
4. Place the pointer on the right-hand end of the sub-panel (almost touching the single pulley) and tape it in place.
5. Route the nylon cord as shown above; pull it taut (without moving the pointer) and tie the end SECURELY to the pin on the inductor shaft.
6. Route the stretch cord as shown above; take up the slack (not too much) and tie the end into a lasso (not too tightly) around the pot shaft. (The pointer should still be near the right-hand pulley, the nylon cord taut and stretch cord slightly tensed.)
7. Remove the tape from the pointer.
8. Turn the inductor gently, beginning counter-clockwise; the pointer should move freely and smoothly, all the way to the left and back.
