Iambic Paddle Adjustments
ADJUSTMENT #1: *Numbers refer to exploded drawing
mainframe must be loosened. Under the base you will find the lower trunion screws (#1 Adjustment).
Turn each adjustment screw until the lever moves freely but not any up and down movement.
ADJUSTMENT #2:
Contact Post Assemblies: These assemblies are built together special in the factory. The nut and screw are put through the contact post and then the contact point in pressed into place.
ADJUSTMENT #3:
Contact Slide Assemblies: By loosening the contact slide screw (#9), you have the ability to move the contact slide up or down according to where you need it to line up with the contact post contact.
ADJUSTMENT #4:
Spring Tension: By loosening or tighting either or both the mainframe screws (#11), you have the ability to increase or decrease the tension of the springs. It depends on the operator, either wanting a smooth or snappy return on the levers.
Listed above are basic adjustments for the Iambic paddle. Adjustment #1, Lower trunion screws, are the most common adjustment to make. Remember to re-tighten the set screws at the base of your mainframe once your key feels right to you, this will hold your settings tight. After the comfort adjustments are made, then adjustments 2 and 3 can be made. These are required adjustments, assuring that the contact points line up.
By making small adjustments, one at a time, between these variables, optimum paddle spacing and feel can be obtained.
