Assembly – Items 1, 2, 10 and 7
Start with LRA20 and
Dial Mount Tube
assembly
On side B, add
Male/Male Swivel
3
Assembly – Item 4
To attach the Dial,
thread and tighten
M10 screw into
Mount Tube until
star washer
contacts inner gear.
The star washer
must be aligned
over the slots, and
not over the inner
gear teeth before
tightening any
further.
*Disregard the position
of the letter and
numbers for this step.

Dial-a-Lok “Code”
Dial-a-Lok code is given as an “A” or “B” with:
1. A corresponding major angle (15° increments),
plus…
2. A minor angle (0.6° increments)
Example:
“B” 90° + 0°
5
Assembly – Coding Swivel Link
Starting with the first
joint (assembled in
slides 3 & 4), set the
joint to “B” 90° + 0°,
and hand tighten using a
8mm hex wrench. Now
loosen the M10 screw
just enough so that
when you rotate the
Swivel link, you see and
hear a “click” when you
reach each 15°
increment. Too tight
and it won’t rotate, too
loose and it will spin
without a “click.”
90°
105°
120°

Assembly – Coding Swivel Link
The actual angle needed for this
link is 118.2 °. The code to get
to that angle is “B” 105° + 13.2°,
as shown on drawing 5991-08.
Step 1: Starting from “B” 90° + 0°
as a baseline, set the new desired
minor angle; rotate the Dial to
13.2° (rotate clockwise).
Step 2: While the screw is still loose
enough to hear and feel the
“click”, slowly rotate the Swivel
link to set the major angle of
105°. The first “click” will
indicate 90° + 13.2° (103.2°),
and the second “click” will
indicate 105° + 13.2° (118.2°).

Assembly – Coding Swivel Link
Step 3: To secure the angle
position and Swivel link,
tighten the M10 screw
down to 40 ft-lbs, noting
that the link may rotate
slightly as the inner teeth
engage to find and hold the
desired angle.
118.2°
*It may look like “B” is set
to 120°, but that is because
the final angle of 118.2° is
just slightly smaller than
120°.

Assembly – Item 5
Add the Female/Female
Right Angle link to the
other end of the Swivel
link. Attach a new Dial,
using the same
procedure outlined in
slide four. This link
should use “A” 0° + 0°
as the starting angle.
9
Assembly – Coding Right Angle Link
Set the joint to
“A” 0° + 0°, and hand
tighten using a 8mm
hex wrench. Now
loosen the M10 screw
just enough so that
when you rotate the
Right Angle link, you
see and hear a “click”
when you reach each
15° increment. Too
tight and it won’t
rotate, too loose and
it will spin without a
“click.”
0°
15°
30°
10
Assembly – Coding Right Angle Link
The actual angle needed for this link
is 28.2°. The code to get to that
angle is “A” 15° + 13.2°, as shown
on drawing 5991-08.
Step 1: Starting from “A” 0° + 0° as a
baseline, set the new desired minor
angle; rotate the Dial to 13.2° (rotate
clockwise).
Step 2: While the screw is still loose
enough to hear and feel the “click”,
slowly rotate the Right Angle link to
set the major angle of 15°. The first
“click” will indicate 0° + 13.2°
(13.2°), and the second “click” will
indicate 15° + 13.2° (28.2°).
11
Assembly – Coding Right Angle Link
Step 3: To secure the angle
position and Right Angle
link, tighten the M10
screw down to 40 ft-lbs,
noting that the link may
rotate slightly as the
inner teeth engage to find
and hold the desired
angle.
*It may look like “A” is
set to 30°, but that is
because the final angle of
28.2° is just slightly
smaller than 30°.
28.2°
