EX21 Question

[wombatie]

I can't get the arm of my EX to stay up it is constantly crashing down, usually on my knuckles.  How do I get it to stay up?  Thanks

Looking from the front to rear, on the left hand side rear is a plate cover, remove this cover and adjust the nut inside till the arm stays up, usually only small adjustments are needed.  x

Mine has no cover to remove, I simply loosen the nut and adjust the screw and tighten the jam nut.

Mine also. No panel to remove. The adjustment screw is external.  ( Newer model)  I don't have to adjust it very often but when you do, Don't overdue it.  Very small adjustments at a time.  Just enough keep the arm up and no more.  I think the manual says to go no more than 1/4 turn on the screw at a time but I have found that it takes less then that to get the results that I am looking for.  Hope this helps.

And mine is on the out side so easy to adjust Marg don't over tighten just enough to how it in place.

Just to maybe help someone else some trouble the screw to do this with will break pretty easily. I found out the hard way the first time I adjusted mine and of course it is a special screw that has a spring and ball bearing in it. Seyco does have them but to me they are expensive. Just thought I would throw this out there.
