These set screws should only be adjusted with the
assistance of the factory.
If you experience the sweep arm traveling too far, or not
far enough, it may be necessary to adjust the range of
motion, or stroke, of the arm. This is done by loosening
the lock nut in the center of the cylinder and adjusting the
large screw.
Troubleshooting: If you experience the sweep arm
retracting too far, or not far enough, and the cylinders
have not been adjusted prior, check the sweep arm
attachment point on the cylinder shaft. If the cushions are
not soft enough, the arm will “slam”, and over time the
arm will slip on the shaft. Do not adjust cylinder throw to
compensate for this, adjust the cushioning then loosen and
reposition the sweep arm on the cylinder shaft.
Contact the factory at 414-672-0553 if you have any
questions regarding sweep arm adjustments.
