Charge the shutter with the focusing lever being set at the near or closeup distance. If it fails to be charged, lift little by little the crank arm adjustment plate so as to select the charge point and then check if the reset ring arm is in contact with the shutter lever when the former is charged. Adjust the overcharge at the infinity position and confirm this adjustment at the near position also. If the adjustment is not sufficient, make further adjustment by means of the adjustment plate.
