Personnel
1 technician · Adjustment/calibration — reading a level against a defined tolerance table and fine-adjusting the tilt encoder by loosening a mounting-plate screw and hand-rotating the encoder gear; more precise than simple cover removal or lubrication work, but source does not state a formal skill level (this assessment is derived from the procedure's content — not an OEM-stated skill level)
