Measure the distance
between the frame and the side of the
right channel. This space should be 3 1/2".
Adjust the rear
turnbuckles
to make this space 3-1/2".
These turnbuckles
should be quite tight when you finish.
If this spacing is wrong, it may be difficult to lock the chrome
ring onto the stud.
Install the last three panels
by slipping them in from the
bottom.
Run the panels around until the gap is at the bottom front. Slip
the panels in one at a time and install the bolts. Use the side
openings at the channel bottom to access the nuts for
tightening. Double check the orientation of each panel.
Be
careful not to pinch yourself.
Before installing the last panel, double-check to make sure
everything is right inside. We usually wait until the holds are on
so we can test the machine.
The last panel is somewhat awkward - be patient. Put the bolts
and nuts in with the panel at the bottom or carefully rotate the
panel upward until you can reach the nuts through the access
hole.
Very important –
Adjust the chains!
The main chains
are adjusted with the long push-down bolts at the
bottom of each channel. These bolts push down the lower-shaft
bearings, thus tightening the chains. If they are too tight, the wall
will operate sluggishly, especially for lightweight climbers.
As the wall rotates, the panels come around the bottom and re-
enter the channel in the back. If the chains are too loose, the
panels will catch on the flange where they re-enter the channel and
become damaged.
Adjust the chains.
As you tighten the push-down bolts, watch
where the panels re-enter the channel. Adjust until the panels
clear the end of the flange by about 1/2". On a new machine
the chains can be adjusted a bit firmer, since they will stretch,
but don’t overdo it.
The drive chain
is tightened by the push-down bolt at the top of the
control panel. This chain should also not be too tight.
As you tighten this chain, you can feel the slack through the round
access hole above the control panel.
Tighten the drive chain just enough to take out the slack.
If
you over-tighten this chain, you can loosen it again by
loosening the push-down bolt and prying on the chain with a
large wrench through the access hole.
Make sure that someone at the facility knows how to make
the chain adjustments.
Emphasize that all the chains will
stretch during the first week of use and have to be re-adjusted.
