Hi Guys, I'm trying to help someone trouble shoot thier F-14 Tomcat pin over the phone. I don't have the manual, so I don't know what the error messages mean? It says adjust switch 57 -left sling and adjust switch 58-right sling when powered up. What should I tell him to check for?
 
this means the switches are out of adjustment. they may be too close or they may be too far apart. you can go into self test mode and test the switch edges. this will let you know if they are working right. does this help? i hope so. good luck!
 
thanks. yeah I know where the slings are, just not sure what to tell the guy. do you think that these switches are for the scoring of the slings or just to activate the sling kickers, or both?
