Spring Plunger Indexing
How to adjust the spring force and click-stop action.
The KiWi uses a spring plunger
which is threaded into the horizontal
plate. This plunger works with the
ClickDisc to provide a solid and
smooth click-stop action.
The force of the plunger and the feel
of the detent action can be adjusted
by threading the plunger in and out
of the horizontal plate. You can use a
wide-blade screwdriver or a thin coin
to adjust the plunger. The more you
thread the plunger in (clockwise), the
click stops will be more distinct and
firm. As you thread the plunger out
(counter-clockwise) the click stops
will become more gentle.
Do not overtighten the spring plunger.
The plunger body surrounding the
tip should not bottom out or hit
the
ClickDisc. If you feel binding
or scratching during rotation, the
plunger is probably too far down. If
there's play in the detent action, then
the plunger is probably not down far
enough.
