Insert the Cam Housing so the arrow faces the Cam
Connector. To achieve tension and holding power, you
MUST
TURN
the Cam Housing clockwise at
LEAST
1/4 turn to the
9:00 position. Turning the Cam Housing between 1/4 and 1/2
turn should be enough to ensure rigid tension. Tension
should be initiated as soon as 10:00. You should receive
optimum tightness at 11:00. IF this does not occur, tighten or
loosen the Cam Connector to achieve proper tension.
1.
You may need extra tension if:
A.
The Cam Connector was screwed in deeper or not as deep
as if should.
B.
If the furniture is repeatedly assembled and disassembled.
C.
If you place a heavy load in the unit.
2.
To achieve extra tension, tighten the Cam Connector
between the 11:00 and 12:00 positions.
