Plunger Adjustment
8. Plunger Adjustment
When properly adjusted, the plunger should 
tightly grip a 1.25" (31.8 mm) round bar 
(Figure 14) when activated and retract far 
enough when de-activated to allow easy removal 
of a 1.63" (41.4 mm) diameter drawbar.
1. To adjust plunger, loosen the jam nut
from plunger adjustment nut and 
rotate adjustment nut to increase or 
decrease the plunger engagement 
(Figure 15).
IMPORTANT: Holland plungers have
an adjustment range 
of approximately 1.50" 
(38.1 mm). The plunger 
is pre-set at the factory 
to provide approximately 
1.00" (25.4 mm) of 
adjustment out or 0.50" 
(12.7 mm) adjustment 
in. At no time should 
the push rod have less 
than 0.38" (9.5 mm) 
engagement with the 
plunger (Figure 15). 
2. After adjusting the plunger, retighten
the jam nut securely against plunger 
adjustment nut .
