FLEXIBLE (ADJUSTA-BLOCK) DESIGN
The following procedure is performed on attachments
with flexible (ADJUSTA-BLOCK) design for contact pad
and stabilizer. This procedure can be performed with the
arms in place and the attachment mounted on the truck.
A Cascade 4-Point Force Distribution Tester is required for
this procedure.
IMPORTANT: Clamp circuit pressure should be adjusted,
if required, prior to adjusting the pad camber. Refer to
Installation Step 11 (page 9).
1 Extend the arms to the most common load width.
Lower the contact pads to just above the floor.
2Position the tester between the contact pads. Adjust
the tester spindle locations to be perpendicular to the
contact pad surfaces and to the desired position based
on the type of product being handled.
3Clamp on the tester and hold activated for 5 seconds.
4The tester will display clamp force and percentage of
clamp force for each spindle location and total clamp
force (sum of force of the four spindles).
5Clamp force distribution should be within the desired
percentages and tolerances.
If the tolerance difference is greater than allowable
tolerance difference, the contact pads require pivot
block adjustment. Continue to Step 6 for adjustment.

6Clamp force distribution can be changed at the
ADJUSTA-BLOCK locations on the right hand contact
pad. Tune as follows:
• Loosen the locking nuts 3 turns. Use an 8 mm allen
wrench to hold the capscrews.
• Adjust the collar using a 32 mm socket. Turn
the collar CW to increase clamp force, CCW to
decrease clamp force. One full turn of the collar is
approximately 2 mm linear travel or 10% of force.
Follow adjustment sequence, Step 7.

7Adjustment Sequence –
• Adjust force at location 2to the desired specification.
Validate clamp force with tester and adjust as
required.
• Adjust force at location 4to the desired specification.
Validate clamp force with tester and adjust as
required.
• Adjust force at location 1to the desired specification.
Validate clamp force with tester and adjust as
required.
• Adjust force at location 3to the desired specification.
Validate clamp force with tester and adjust as
required.
IMPORTANT: When adjustments are made in Rows
Aor C, Row Bmust be adjusted by 1/2.
Example 1: If location 2in row Cis increased
by 2 mm, the location above 2in row Bmust be
increased by 1 mm.
Example 2: If location 3 in row A is decreased
by 2 mm, the location below 3in row Bmust be
decreased by 1 mm.
