Listed above are basic adjustments for the Vibrokeyer. 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 other adjustments 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.
