Equinox 900

Can someone verify for me that when collapsed down, the coil can be rotated on the lower stem in order to lie flat ?
( coil parallel to the handle axis ) or is coil rotation prevented, as it is on the Xterra pro? Thanks to any who cares to respond.

Not sure if I understand what you are asking, but the lower shaft on the 700/900 is round and can be rotated.
The lower shaft on the XTerra Pro and Vanquish are the same from what I have seen and cannot be rotated due to the shape.

The upper end of the Xterra lower stem has an end cap which I think has a notch that fits into the middle shaft and prevents coil rotation, and it the coil can rotate on the 900, it must be that there is no notch in its end cap , or no end cap at all. I think I read a post where the poster noted that if not clamped tightly his coil would become rotated during use. Thanks for your reply.

I ordered an extra lower shaft for my 800 a few years ago and the dealer accidentally sent me one for the Vanguish… as best as I can recall, it did not have a slot, but the end of the shaft was square.
This prevents twisting of the shaft as the middle shaft on the Vanquish is also square.

That’s how the Vanquish and Xterra pro shafts work, but I saw a 900 review and the OP mentioned that the coil rotated on him during use, which is why I questioned it. Thanks
