If the set-up is too loose - the gear motor shaft will too easily push up the steel ball
and the two way clutch block will barely or not engage to spin the flexible shaft.
If the set-up is too tight - the gear motor shaft will push up the steel ball too strongly
causing twisting damage to the flexible shaft and damage to the motor as it stalls
when the ram sleeve reaches the end of its effective travel range.
How to adjust the ball tension
The ball tension on every two way clutch block has been pre-adjusted in the factory;
however, it might need fine tuning before or after you install the Tab-X on your hull.
Using an Allen screw drive, turn the hex grubscrew clockwise for higher tension,
and counter-clockwise for lower tension.
Troubleshooting & Solution
There is a possibility when the ball tension is set a little too high that the threaded
shaft might become stuck inside the ram sleeve if the gear motor goes out of range
for too long. If that happens, the gear motor might not be able to rotate the flexible
shaft in the opposite direction. The solution for this issue is to use your finger
torotate the two way clutch block to release the threaded shaft out of the ram
sleeve, then use the control device to again control it.
Install Tab-X to Your Hull
For the proper installation of Tab-X to your hull transom, you will need to
prepare the following tools before you start the procedure:
#1: Cordless Drill,
#2: 4.2mm and 6mm Drill Bits,
#3: M3 and M4 Allen Screwdrivers
#4: The Wooden Drilling Template that comes with the Tab-X package.
