4.6. ADJUSTING THE CONTACT PRESSURE OF THE
SLIDING TABLE
For aircraft with small nose wheels or tires with low pressure it may be necessary to
reduce the maximum contact pressure of the sliding table.
1. Rotate the upper black locking ring to unlock the lower orange setting rings.
2. Set the upper orange ring to the desired maximum pressure. For small nose wheels or
tires with low inflation pressure, we recommend a value of approximately 50.
Watch out! This value is only suitable for small nose wheels or tires with low infla-
tion pressure!
At constant exchange of different wheel sizes or filling pressure values , select a value
that ensures that large nose wheels or tires with high inflation pressures are clamped
securely.
3. Set the lower orange ring to the desired minimum pressure. The value should always
be greater than 30.
4. Attention! Close the upper black locking ring to prevent an independent change of the
values by vibration during operation.
The factory setting is:
Maximum pressure (upper ring): 70
Minimum pressure (lower ring): 40
