I cleaned up all the tools and floor too. I also adjusted the "full open" limit switch actuator near the bottom of the slot to turn off the shutter drive a little earlier in case the shutter was getting driven into the stop hard enough to fatigue the rollpin. I adjusted the L-bracket to almost touch when the shutter is about 5 feet from fully open. -Darryl ___end___ Thu Oct 23 22:55:00 GMT 2008 CHIP End Patrol Thu Oct 23 22:55:19 GMT 2008 PICS End Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Oct 23 22:55:51 GMT 2008 Clouds are dense, instruments idled. ___end___ COMMENT: Fri Oct 24 00:54:27 GMT 2008 Read Helco meters today. ___end___ Fri Oct 24 01:03:38 GMT 2008 MkIV
