Tightening Adjustment
The clamping force of SMART LOCK could be loosened after a long time use by a progressive wearing of some
components, this revealed by a progressive slack of the locking lever.
To restore / increase / decrease the SMART LOCK tightening: press the yellow adjustment button and,
by means of the adjustment knob, start turning manually the conical terminal thus acting on the expanding nut.
Then, release the button and keep on turning the conical terminal until the button pops up again.
