2.
Turn the “X” adjusting screw ½ turn back (counter-clockwise), then slowly turn it
in clockwise until it stops. Later models do not have a thumb screw. Use the
small hex key wrench to make adjustments. Do not force it beyond the point it
stops at.
3. Using the larger hex key wrench supplied with the Model 75, verify that th
e “Y”
locking screw is tight. See Figure 3-
8 for the location of the “Y” locking screw.
4.
Turn the “Y” adjusting screw ½ turn back (counter-clockwise), then slowly turn it
in clockwise until it stops. Do not force it beyond the point it stops at.
5.
to determine the direction in which the “X” and/or “Y” adjusting screws
need to be moved to correct the out of center condition.
6.
If the centering needs to be corrected in the “X” direction, loosen the “X” locking
screw one full turn then proceed to make the centering adjustment by turning the
“X” adjust screw in the required direction, 1/8 of a turn. Tighten the “X” locking
screw after making the centering adjustment.
Note
: Only turn the “X” adjusting screw a maximum of 1/8 turn at a time.
Note
: When making adjustments to the “X” adjusting screw, it is good practice to
apply light finger pressure against the guide bushing block assembly in the
direction of the “X” adjusting screw. The assembly is spring-loaded in this
direction. However, applying additional pressure will ensure that the guide
bushing assembly correctly follows the “X” adjustment screw.
7. Strip a piece of cable to see if the desired centering adjustment has been
achieved.
8.
If further adjustment is required, repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired “X”
centering adjustment has been achieved.
9. If the centering needs to be
corrected in the “Y” direction, loosen the “Y” locking
screw one full turn then proceed to make the centering adjustment by turning the
“Y” adjusting screw in the required direction, 1/8 of a turn. Tighten the “Y” locking
screw after making the centering adjustment.
Note
: Only turn the “Y” adjusting screw a maximum of 1/8 turn at a time.
10. Strip a piece of cable to see if the desired centering adjustment has been
achieved.
11.
If further adjustment is required, repeat steps 9 and 10 until the desired “Y”
centering adjustment has been achieved.

4 Notes Concerning Cable Centering
1. It should be noted that the centering system used in the Model 75 is much more
precise than the construction of most cables in the marketplace today.
2. Before making centering adjustments, know why you are making the adjustment
to avoid unnecessary adjustments. Examples of situations causing an off-center
condition may include poor quality cable, worn, out of tolerance, or off-center
drilled wire guide bushing, wrong size wire guide bushing, mechanical problem,
inadvertent turning of center adjusting screws, etc.
