Need help with C9.25 micrometer focuser

I'm looking for someone that is familiar with the micrometer focuser used on the C9.25 OTA.

When the rectangular cover is removed from the focuser assembly, there is a small black lever on the counter assembly. Could someone tell me the purpose of the lever. I can send a digital picture if needed.

The reason that I removed the cover is because I heard something rolling around inside the OTA. I found the head of one of the screws broken off and rolling around the inside of the focuser. Luckily enough, it has not done any damage.

Thanks,
Jared

It locks the focuser shaft from rotating. You would most likely never need to do this.
