WIG WAG BRAKE ASSEMBLY
OVERVIEW
The Wig Wag Assembly allows the forward mechanics to move sideways 11° in
either direction.
The Wig Wag Assembly should not move when the friction brake is fully
engaged. The Wig-Wag brake is non-binding and is easily released and
engaged. The brake design allows the user to partially engage the brake for ease
of use or fully engage the brake to prevent travel.
The Wig Wag assembly does not have any marked or labeled position indicators.
WIG WAG BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
If the brake fails to lock the forward mechanics in position (e.g. the brake handle
turns without engaging the brake) perform the following:
1. Remove the Hole Plug and remove the screw in the brake handle. Remove
the Wig Wag brake handle.
2. Loosen the set screw.
3. Using a standard screwdriver turn the actuator screw approximately 1/4 turn
counter-clockwise.
4. Reassemble and functionally test the brake.
5. If this adjustment fails, disassemble the Wig Wag assembly and inspect the
washers and brake pad. Check for worn or damaged parts.
