Door Latch Adjustment (Continued);
THE DOOR IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE TONG. IT IS
IMPERATIVE TO KEEP A SECURE FIT AT THE DOOR IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN PROPER GEAR
ALIGNMENT, AND TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE TO THE GEAR TRAIN WHEN
OPERATING THE TONG AT SPECIFIED TORQUE. A CLOSED DOOR ALSO ENSURES SAFETY OF
OPERATING PERSONNEL.

Shifter Detent Force Adjustment:

Over time wear to the shifting shaft, wear to the detent ball, and loss of spring tension in the detent spring may result in a loose or
"sloppy" fit within the top shifter bushing. The detent pressure may be increased or otherwise adjusted by loosening the 7/16" UNF
locking jam nut, and turning the 7/16" UNF detent bolt. Should adequate detent action not be achieved, the shifting shaft, detent ball,
or detent spring (or possibly all three) may need to be replaced (see Pp. 5.12 - 5.13).
