Cap Frame
The strap on the cap frame may need to
be adjusted for different cap materials.
The factory adjustment will suffice for
most cap types, but if you need to
adjust it, follow these steps:
1. Close the cap frame but do not
fasten the latch. Make sure the strap
is in the groove on the locator (see
Figure 4-9).
2. Loosen the 2 wing nuts on the strap
(Figure 4-10).
3. Slide the frame (loosening or
tightening its grip on the cap) to its
new position.
Caution! Do not overtighten
the strap on the cap frame. If
the strap is too tight (and the
clip is difficult to close) you
may damage the frame.
4. Retighten the 2 wing nuts.
Note:
For normal to heavy-duty cap
materials, the latch on the
end of the strap is attached at
the outer-most two screw
holes (see Figure 4-11).
With very thin cap material
you may not be able to get
the strap tight enough with
the wing nut adjustments
described above. To obtain a
tighter strap with very thin
cap material, remove the 2
screws shown in Figure 4-11.
Move the latch to the
inner-most screw holes as
shown in Figure 4-12 and
secure the latch with the
same screws and nuts.
