Question about RPE Hyrax?

#1 Post by Captain America »

Hopefully someone here can help me out on this topic. I am wondering how much does a hyrax actually move per turn? I have turned mine only about 4 times as of today and for about 30 seconds I feel a little pressure but nothing after that. Is this the norm? I was instructed to turn it once every 3 days if that helps. Thanks in advance for you help.

I was told 4 turns equals 1mm, which is the same .25mm per turn that Meryaten said.

Like you, I only feel pressure for a very short time after turning my RPE. I was worried it would hurt, but it doesn't.
