    Default Squeaky directional arrow on Fortrex


    My brand new Fortex has a barely audible (but annoying) squeak when turning the TM left to right...

    It only happens when the TM is moving between the 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock position (moving in both directions)...

    It sounds like the actual plastic directional arrow might be rubbing on the TM head's housing (in the little pocket where the directional arrow is located..)

    Does the plastic housing come apart easily so I can trace this squeak down...??

    Rickie, I think there are four screws that will seperate the two halfs. If you have a tube of dry graphite you could squirt a little around it, also spray Super Lube has silicone and will dry and leave the lubricant.
