Installing the DAESSY Locking Swing-away Mount - DLSA7
Installing the Quick Release Base
Install the Quick Release Base (TUSB):
The plastic Cable Anchor holding the Release Cable at the end of the Horizontal Arm of the tube must be removed for installing the Tube Mount holding the Quick Release Base; a 5/32" Allen key is needed to loosen the clamping bolt and pull off the Cable Anchor.
Remove the plastic plug retaining the Pinch Clamp in its hole in the TUSB and slide it onto the Horizontal Tube. The Pinch Clamp must be aligned in its hole so that it is even with the inside of the tube hole to allow the tube to slide through.
Replace the Cable Anchor and align it so the Release Cable is directly below the tube. Tighten the clamping bolt just enough to prevent the anchor from rotating by hand. The thread in the plastic Cable Anchor will be damaged if the clamping bolt is over-tightened.
Quick Release Orientation
The two Cable Anchors limit sideways adjustment of the position of the Total Quick Release Base (TUSB) on the Horizontal Tube. The Total Quick Release Base may be rotated around the tube to place the mounted device at any angle. The normal orientation for the TUSB is with the Locking Pin positioned away from the user. Adapters and Holders that attach devices and computers onto the TUSB are assembled for this orientation.
