Adjusting the clamping pressure on the SteelTrak

How to adjust the clamping pressure on the SteelTrak

This guide is referencing the pressure of the clamp in relation to the amount of pressure applied to the operating handle.

Ove time the maximum clamping pressure can reduce due to wear on the friction block (hidden within the machine),
compensation for this can be made.

Simply adjust the two small grub screws in the housing as shown.

Turn the screws clockwise until they stop moving. Then undo them one full turn and this should provide an acceptable pressure but further small adjustment can be made to increase or decrease the pressure as required.

Care should be taken not to tighten either grub screw fully or this will result in undue wear of the friction plate.
