DANCER ARM COMPRESSION SPRING
This adjustment has been factory made and should
not be readjusted. Any additional preloading on this
spring may cause chain or connecting link failure
during operation.
BRAKE BLOCK PRESSURE
Pressure is applied to the brake block (1) by means of
an extension spring (2) connected between the brake
block mounting screw (4) and a 5/16 hex head cap
screw (3) extending from the dispenser post (A) just
beneath the dispenser shaft mounting hole. At this
upper location are two 5/16-24 tapped holes.
Additional spring tension can be gained by removing
the 5/16 hex head screw and moving it to the upper
hole. Make sure the screw extends no more than 3/4"
and it is securely locked to the post with nut
provided.
BRAKE BLOCK ROTATION
The friction surface on the brake block (1) will eventually wear to a point that proper pressure
gained from the extension spring (2) is no longer possible. When that occurs, loosen the brake
block mounting screw (4) and rotate the block 180 degrees. Make sure the mounting screw has
been securely tightened. When both sides of the brake block are fully worn, replace the block.
