Setscrew stop.
SStteepp 44..
Bump the handle from underneath. If the handle
can be unlocked by bumping it 3 or 4 times, the
setscrew stop needs to be backed off. If the
setscrew stop is backed out too far, the power link
will pivot past five degrees and the clamping force
will diminish.
SStteepp 55..
Loosen the check nut (#29) with a
7
⁄16" socket.
Adjust the setscrew stop using a 3mm Allen
wrench until the the power link is 5˚ past horizon-
tal. Test your results. If you can bump the handle
and it releases, incrementally back out the
setscrew stop some more. If the draw bar can be
observed stopping its outward motion and then
begins to reverse direction, turn the setscrew stop
back in.
SStteepp 33..
Slide the vinyl grip (#1) back about half way to
expose the setscrew stop (#28) located on the
underside of the draw bar (#6).

The lock handle (#2) actuates and holds the
clamping jaws when in the engaged (down) posi-
tion and releases the jaws in the up position. This
handle is already adjusted for use out of the box.
However, further adjustment may be necessary
after a short break-in period. To adjust the lock
handle:
SStteepp 11..
Push down on handle. Very little effort is required
to do this (15-20 pounds of force).
SStteepp 22..
Check the position of the power link (#5).

Notice how the link “cams over” slightly past
horizontal when the handle is engaged. The power
link should be adjusted to “cam over” at approxi-
mately five degrees past horizontal.
