When the spindle is inserted into the receiver, a detent pin locks it in position. If the spindle is too difficult to insert or remove from the spindle receiver, or if it slips out too easily, the pressure with which the detent holds the spindle in place can be adjusted. Remove the cover of the head and locate the detente, which is a screw head held in place by a lock nut on the top of the spindle receiver. Loosen the lock nut to free the detente, adjust it to the desired position, and retighten the lock nut. | When the spindle is inserted into the receiver, a detent pin locks it in position.
