7.5 Checking and Adjusting Clamp Tightness

To check and adjust the tightness of the clamps:
1. The tube clamps hold the weight of the mast and payload. It is very important that the
clamps are sufficiently tight. This section describes the steps to follow to ensure that the
clamps are sufficiently tight and how to tighten if necessary.
2. Before checking for proper tightness, load a mast tube of the same outer diameter into
the clamp.
3. Lock the clamp and ensure that the lever locks onto the locking tab. Check that the
screw head is fully nested in the back of the hexagon hole of the clamp lever. Ensure
that there are no visible gaps between the clamp housing and nut.
