Fully open the Crosswing and leave the Control Lever
in the unlocked position. This will allow you to gauge
the spring tension.
Remove the two Philips head screws holding the
Tension Adjust Cover on the right side of the Crosswing.
Remove the Tension Adjust Cover. Be careful not to
misplace the Tension Adjust Cover and screws.
Using a ⅝” socket and wrench,
turn the Tension Adjust hex
clockwise (the hex will pull itself
inward before spinning freely).
Make 4-5 turns clockwise. Allow the socket wrench to slowly
rotate counterclockwise, do not push inwards (the Tension
Adjust hex will push back out and sit into its resting position).
Test the new spring tension by closing and opening the
Crosswing. If additional tension is desired repeat from step 3.
Replace Tension Adjust Cover and screws.
