The Adjustment Nut
The LockJaw is exceptionally stiff and stable, but will
require period inspection and adjustment to ensure
that it is properly tensioned. Adjust the LockJaw ac-
cording to the following instructions.
Use a 6 mm Allen key.
NOTE: Only turn the adjustment nut in small incre-
ments (e.g. a 1/8 turn) each time otherwise you might
over tighten or over loosen it.
Do not over tighten the adjustment nut. Over tight-
ening the adjustment nut will cause damage to the
meshing mechanism, which will eventually affect the
functionality of the LockJaw and your safety.
Do not over loosen the adjustment nut. If it is too
loose, the LockJaw hinge will not close tightly, which
EN
will result in a loose joint. Check the tightness of the
LockJaw by closing the OC bolt. If the OC bolt closes
with a "click" at the end, the tightness is just right.
