ADJUST PUSHROD [D] LENGTH.
The Pushrod length must be adjusted to prevent permanent damage to the
Shrinker Stretcher Jaws from over-travel.
• Lift the Actuating Clevis [E] to open Shrinker Stretcher Jaws fully and insert a business card
or equivalent material between Jaws (FIG 8).
• Allow the Foot Pedal of the Pedal Assembly [C] to rest under its own weight on the Base
[A] (FIG 9).
• Attempt to align the through hole in the top of the Pushrod [D] with the holes in the Clevis.
• Rotate the Pushrod to thread it up or down as required to align the Pushrod and Clevis holes.
• Once the holes are aligned, the Pin [F] may be inserted (FIG 10).
• Remove the business card and place a 1" strip of 20-gauge steel between the Jaws.
• With the 20 Gauge steel in place between the Jaws (FIG 11), the underside of the Pedal arm
should stop above and be parallel with the Base 3-1/4" inches (FIG 12). This is the ideal
adjustment for use with 20-gauge steel or aluminum.
• If this dimension is greater than 3-1/4" inches, disconnect and lengthen the Pushrod by
rotating 1 turn Clockwise as viewed from the top.
• If the dimension is less than 3-1/4" inches, disconnect and shorten the Pushrod by rotating
1 turn Counter-clockwise as viewed form the top.
• Conduct a final test by working the 1" strip of 20 Gauge through several passes (lifting the
Pedal Assembly each time) and check that it shrinks or stretches properly.
• Once the final adjustments have been made, the two Snap Rings [G] can be placed into the
grooves of the Pivot Pin [F] (FIG 13).
