Skid Plate Tension Screws
The four roller bearings on the skid plate keep the film moving in a defined
path and help to minimize gate weave. If some of the bearings are not
making contact with the film during a scan, their tension can be adjusted.
To do this, lightly tighten the M4 tension screws on the front of the plate using
a 2mm hex driver.
It's worth mentioning that if too much tension is applied, it can slightly shift
the position of the image on the skid plate, which may affect your scan. If this
happens, simply reverse your tension adjustments until your scan
returns to normal.
The skid plate tension screws are located at the front of both
the 16mm and 35mm skid plates.
When removing the skid plate you
will need to push the retention levers
down and then turn them outward.
To secure a skid plate lift the
retention levers all the way
up and turn them inward.
