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.
