Use and Adjustment of the Manual Release Mechanism
All SlideDriver operators come equipped with a toggle handle manual release mechanism to disengage the
drive wheels from the drive rail. The manual release is located under the electric control panel and to the right of
the hydraulic motors. To disengage the drive wheels, simply pull the aluminum handle down.
USE CAUTION:
At first, the toggle handle will rapidly pop down as the loaded spring releases. This action will
cause the lower drive wheel to drop and disengage from the drive rail. When the coupling nut on the threaded
rod drops to its lowest position, it will push on the base of the operator which will cause the upper drive wheel to
lift and disengage from the drive rail.
For shipment, a piece of wood was placed between the coupling nut and the chassis. If the wood is still in place,
discard it.
If the drive rail has been installed at the correct height to the chassis, the manual toggle release mechanism will
equally spread both wheels away from the drive rail. If the rail has been mounted higher than specified, it may
be necessary to insert a 3/8" bolt into the bottom of the coupling nut which will create additional lift clearance for
the upper drive wheel when manually released. If used, adjust the 3/8" bolt so the drive wheels spread equally
when the manual toggle release is fully disengaged.
The coupling nut must always be adjusted correctly so the wheels provide a strong clamping
force on the drive rail. The red spring should measure 2" to 2-1/8" in height when under correct
compression.
