Install shims as required. • Positive Camber – Install shims at the bottom and middle of the pad to increase clamp force at the CL5078.eps bottom of the load.
The following procedure is performed on attachments with flexible (ADJUSTA-BLOCK) design for contact pad and stabilizer. This procedure can be performed with the attachment mounted on the truck. A Cascade 4-Point Force Distribution Tester is required for this procedure. IMPORTANT: Clamp circuit pressure should be adjusted, if required, prior to adjusting the pad camber.
