DropLit Assembly Guide
The two eccentric bearings you just installed need to be adjusted in order to allow them to grip
the extrusion properly. Using one or two 3/8” wrenches, turn the eccentric clockwise to bring the
bearings closer to the extrusion. Adjust both eccentrics equally.
You want to make sure that you've got the bearings
tight enough that they constrain the carriage such that the
only movement it has is straight up and down the tower.
A properly adjusted carriage will fall to the bottom
when lifted, with all five bearing moving and in contact
with the tower extrusion.
