The Hader bar incorporates a resin sleeeve that is speedily replaced when it
slackens. Another notable feature is th

6. Adjustment
j
of retention
Adjustments for retention must be caarried out with care using the special
instrument when available. The blue devvices slacken the retention of the Dolder
bar and are used prior to initial insertion or if the sleeve has become accidentally
distorted in use. The small keys arre employed to increase retention.

Prior to soldering
g be sure that the
liquidus of the solder corresponds
with that of the casting alloy, then
apply flux to the root caps.
Complications with

Misguided imp
plant placement
Insert the screw at one end of the barr and check for any movement at the
other as it is tightened, the screw is then
n removed and the procedure reversed.
