between the wedge and beam, adjust the bolts on the
side of the wedge assembly to eliminate the excess
space between the wedge and beam. See Figure 16.

Loosen the jam nuts on the two adjustment bolts on
the side of the wedge. Turn the adjustment bolts in
until snug and then back them off slowly until the
wedge assembly will slide on the beam.

Tighten the jam nuts securely against the side of
the wedge to hold the adjustment bolts in this
position.
Gib Adjustment
Periodically remove and replace the "gibs" (spacers)
between the wedge assembly and the back plate.
