Attach the shift handle
The shift handle allows you to switch between boxes.
1) On each side there is a cable attached to the drop box which has an
eyebolt on the end. This cable is routed over the top of the drop
box pulley and the eyebolt threads into the turnbuckle on the end
of the cable coming from the shift handle.
Adjust the movement of the dropboxes
Note:
You can adjust the movement of the boxes both with the adjustment screw
and with the turnbuckle on the shift handle cables. Adjust each as needed
until the boxes are in the correct position.
The boxes slide up and down on a metal rod which is fixed at both ends to
cast metal pieces in order to change the box. There is a brass adjustment
screw with a lock nut. These brass screws provide a stop for the boxes at
their upper and lower extremes of movement.
1) Adjust the top screw so that when the boxes are all the way up, the
lower box is in precise alignment with the shuttle race.
2) Adjust the bottom screw so that when the boxes are all the way
down, the upper box is in precise alignment with the shuttle race.
