Adjust the turnbuckle to adjust spring tension as required.

Adjusting the Turnbuckle is a 2 person job:
Firstly, one person is required to pull the wing tip back
while the other person places the pin.
Secondly, one person must hold wing tip to just release
the spring tension while the other person adjusts the
turnbuckle.
Do not let the wing tip fully return fully while making
adjustment, otherwise the chain may jump off its sprocket
and cause injury.

Maintenance
Several things are required to ensure that the
breakaway will be functioning properly.
Two things are critical to the breakaway
functioning correctly:
• The small hole in the sprocket must
align with the hole in the side of the
pivot plate, and
• The spring tension.
Check these on a regular basis and adjust as
required.

The spring will stretch over time and will lose
tension. Worn springs & chain should be
replaced if there is insufficient tension on the
spring to fully retract.

smooth & long lasting operation:
• Oil the sprocket pivot, chain and lower
rose joints with a wet lubricant every 8
hours.
• Grease the upper rose joint every 8
hours.
