Thanks for the responses. It looks like I have the spring installed correctly according to the manual and the pics posted by others. I've posted a picture below. I think the spring is wound too tight and needs to be spread out some. What do you all think? When I apply heat, the first thing that happens is the hook part of the spring lifts itself off the peg. The shaft does not turn even though it's free and will rotate easily by hand.

And I just read the section from the manual posted by Forty9, which is great information. I overlooked it when I looked at the manual. Too busy looking at the pictures.
