Always check to ensure that the item to be dropped is firmly gripped.
Make sure that the maximum clamping force of the adjusting screw is obtained.
Take care not to overtighten the adjusting screw, as this will pull the armature plate
away from the solenoid and reduce the gripping force. You can detect this
overtightening by feeling a significant reduction in force when turning the adjusting
screw. If this happens, turn the adjusting screw about ¼ of a turn backwards. This
will give the maximum gripping force.
Once the item to be dropped is correctly clamped, turn the key-operated switch
to the "Armed" position (the LED clamp lights - pilot lamps on the KabuKlip
release units - will go out).
The ring-shaped LED around the "FIRE" release button will indicate the unit is
ready for firing.
The KabuKlip release units will all open simultaneously when the "FIRE" release
button is pressed, and the load will drop.

Maintenance
Check the system for the following points before use:
o
Loose bolts and connections
o
Power supply and control cables (check the cable for any kinks and
cracks)
Clean the KabuKlip release units after use in dusty environments
Apply commercially-available lubricants (MoS, WD40) to the adjusting screw if
required.
Do not apply any lubricant to the hinge, as this will increase dirt contamination.
After using KabuKlip OA units under damp conditions, leave them in a dry
environment switched on with the armature plate opened and the solenoid
activated until completely dry.
Permissible cleaning methods are wiping with a damp cloth, blowing with
compressed air, and brushing.
