Sidecranker Care Sheet
Please watch the video on YouTube “sidecranker setup”
There are little posts along the bottom sides of the frame. These are for the rubber band. (explained in video)
I also recommend a thick, standard nipple, such as the ones from Eikon or Kingpin. Most of the “secure fit” nipples are too thin, and will cause slop in the action.
There are two hit options. One has slight dampening, and the other is rigid. For the rigid, (how I now send them out) there will be a black plastic shoulder washer pushed into the a-bar post. For a dampened hit, pull out the black plastic shoulder washer and replace it with the oring provided. This is for proper spacing for the needle to be centered in the tube. This is explained in my video, but it is with a threaded rod and nut setup.. Just recently modified it.
There are three stroke settings. It is adjusted by screwing the screw on the top of the connecting link (that connects to the a-bar) into one of three holes. The forward hole will be the shortest, at 3.2 mm. Middle hole is 4mm, and where I typically set them up. Rear hole is 4.8, mainly for lining with larger groupings. Do not exceed 9 volts.
