Spring Adjustments
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE SPRINGS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU SUSPECT THAT
A SPRING IS DAMAGED AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT CONTACT JAYPRO IMMEDIATELY AT
(800) 243-0533.
WARNING: WHEN ADJUSTING THE SPRINGS ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE LOCKNUTS ARE
NEVER LOOSENED TO THE POINT WHERE NO THREADS ARE VISIBLE.
Adjusting the lift-assist springs and should only be used by an experienced
contractor/installer. Please contact the Jaypro Sports customer support
team, Monday through Friday, 8:30AM to 5:00 PM (EST), at 1-800-243-0533
if assistance with locating an experienced professional is required.
The spring tension is pre-set at the factory. Under normal circumstances,
spring adjustment is not typically necessary. Over time, however, the
springs may require adjustment to ensure that the lift-assist characteristics
of the springs are maintained.
1.
Use a 7/8” socket wrench for spring adjustments.
2.
You will need to place a steel rod in the eye of the eyebolt to which
the springs are attached (inside face of rear horizontal 2x4) to
prevent the eyebolt from rotating as you adjust the nuts.
3.
If the unit raises on its own, the springs are too tight.
