CHANGING SPOTTING TONGS
If a spotting tong becomes damaged and needs to be removed for repair, use the following procedure.
1. Turn the stop/run switch on the mechanic’s control box or mechanic’s remote display to the
stop position. (Disconnect main power to the pinsetter if you will be leaving the machine
unattended.)
2. Manually lower the setting table onto a jack stand or other suitable support.
NOTE:
If suspending the setting table on the stroke limiter plate, it must still be supported by a
jack stand or some means of support to prevent the table from dropping if the stroke limiter is
bumped or slips.
3. Turn the spotting tong square shaft until the spotting tongs are completely closed . The “ST”
switch should be open and the closed stop should be against the stop block. Refer to
Figure 8-6.
Figure 8-6. Spotting Tongs Closed.
(1) CLOSED STOP

(3) GEAR RACK
(4) OPEN ST SWITCH
(5) RIGHT-HAND SQUARE SHAFT
(6) STOP BLOCK
4. Remove the hardware holding the spotting tongs to the setting table. Retain the hardware for
use during reassembly.
NOTE:
To keep the tongs timed properly, it is advisable to only remove one set of tongs at a
time.
