Melco Bravo - Take-Up Lever Stroke

measuring point and take note of the measurement at the top dead center (TDC) and the bottom
dead center (BDC) of the take-up lever stroke. Take the measurements several times to ensure a
consistent measurement. The difference between the TDC and BDC measurements of the take-up
lever, is the take-up lever stroke measurement. This measurement should be between 56mm and
58mm.
Adjustment
Currently, no process to adjust the take-up lever stroke has been dened.
If the take-up lever stroke exceeds the 56-58mm specication, contact your technical support provider.
Take-Up Lever Fit to Shaft
When the take-up levers are assembled onto the take-up lever shaft, they should rotate easily on the
shaft with no binding. To check this, rotate the take-up lever on the shaft with your ngers.
If the take-up levers bind or there is signicant resistance in the rotation, replace the take-up levers.
Take-Up Lever Endplay
Measurement
Take-up lever endplay refers to the left or right play of the take-up levers on the take-up lever shaft.
Measure the endplay by sliding the take-up levers all the way to the right and measure the distance be-
tween the right edge of the last take-up lever to the retaining clip. This distance cannot exceed the range
of 0.030-0.040” [0.75-1mm].
Adjustment
Adjustment of the take-up lever endplay is done by loosening the screws that clamp the take-up lever
shaft in the mounting blocks and gently tapping the take-up lever shaft in the direction needed to adjust
it.
If you loosen the screws on the take-up lever mounting blocks, ensure they are re-torqued to the torque
specications.
Cam Follower Preload
Measurement
Cam follower preload is the amount of spring force that is applied against the cam follower.
Use a pull force gauge and measure the amount of force necessary to move the cam follower from the
take-up lever cam.
