Spring Plunger Indexing

How to adjust the spring force and click-stop action.

The KiWi uses a spring plunger which is threaded into the horizontal plate.This plunger works with the ClickDisc to provide a solid and smooth click-stop action.

The force of the plunger and the feel of the detent action can be adjusted by threading the plunger in and out of the horizontal plate.You can use a wide-blade screwdriver or a thin coin to adjust the plunger.The more you thread the plunger in (clockwise), the click stops will be more distinct and firm. As you thread the plunger out (counter-clockwise) the click stops will become more gentle.

Do not overtighten the spring plunger. The plunger body surrounding the

tip should not bottom out or hit Spring Plunger the ClickDisc. If you feel binding

or scratching during rotation, the plunger is probably too far down. If there's play in the detent action, then the plunger is probably not down far enough.
