Bottom clamp adjustment
(Fig 5)
When applied finger-tight, the 'V' notch on the bottom clamp knob(18) should be within the limits
shown. To adjust the bottom clamp:
Remove the hole plug (18.3). Remove the screw (18.2) and washer (18.1) securing knob
(18) to the spindle (18.4).
Remove the knob and turn the spindle (18.4) clockwise until finger-tight.
Replace the knob (18) on the spindle (18.4) so that the 'V' notch on the clamp knob is
within the limits shown.
Degrease screw (18.2), coat with Loctite 222E and secure knob with washer (18.1) and
screw (18.2). Replace hole plug (18.3).
Top clamp and skid clamp adjustment
(Fig 1)
The top clamp (19) and skid clamp (11) are applied and released by turning the handle clockwise
or counter-clockwise. Both handles have push-on/pull-off type ratchet adjustment.
To adjust the top and skid clamps pull the clamp handle away from the spindle, rotate it
clockwise and release.
Repeat the above procedure, as necessary, until the clamp locks when applied but allows free
movement when released.
Skid tracking
(Fig 6)
Adjustments to the tracking of the skid may become necessary after considerable use. Check
the tracking as follows:
With the track locks engaged and a payload fitted, the skid should track in a straight line
over a distance of 3.6 m (12 feet) with deviation not exceeding 5 cm (2 in.). If this cannot
be achieved, the wheels should be re-aligned. When re-aligning the wheels, start by
adjusting the wheel with the red locking knob on the fixed leg. This will often correct any
alignment problems.
To re-align the skid wheels:
Remove the column from the skid.
Engage the track lock (8) on each castor.
Remove two screws (7.1) from the foot support (7) on the fixed leg and remove the foot
support.
Using a suitable spanner remove nut (8.1) (a spanner is available from Vinten Part No.
3319-900SP).
Apply Loctite 242 to the nut, re-install and tighten lightly.
Align the wheel on the fixed leg so that it runs parallel to the leg.
