Adjust the Tightness of the
LockJaw (The Adjustment Bolt)
Version A
NOTE:
Only turn the adjustment bolt in small increments
(e.g. an 1/8 turn) each time, otherwise it could result
in too much constriction and/or movement.
Tools Needed: • 6mm Allen key
Do not put too much force on the adjustment bolt.
By tightening the adjustment bolt too much, it
could result in the damaging of the meshing
mechanism, which will eventually affect the functionality
of the LockJaw and your safety.
Do not over-loosen the adjustment bolt. If it is too
loose,
the LockJaw hinge will not close securely,
which will result in a loose joint.
Open OC Bolt and turn it counter-clockwise
180°.
The LockJaw is exceptionally secure,but will
require periodic inspection and adjustment to
ensure that it is properly working. Adjust the
LockJaw according to the following instructions.
DO NOT open frame
To check for the correct tension of the
LockJaw, close and open the OC bolt.

Once you have achieved the correct
tension, close the LockJaw by turning
the OC bolt 180° counter-clockwise.
To tighten the adjustment bolt, turn it
clockwise when looking at the bolt head-on.
To loosen the adjustment bolt, turn it
counter-clockwise when looking at the bolt
head-on.
