Tong adjust

[deleted2018-12-02]

How does everyone adjust their tongs? I'm having a problem with them not picking some combinations up.......i put all new ones in....thx

I put in #3 & #10 fully open first. Then close them, and install the rest in closed position.

okay thanks ill try that.....beacuse the book says open all to the stop and that doesnt work what so ever...i wasnt sure since i did them like the book says was there something else wrong... but thanks again...

When changing multiple sets, it's best to remove/install one at a time. i have found that by doing this it's easier to put the tongs back in pretty much exactly as they came out and the teeth/grip strength work out fine.

Maybe you are looking at an old manual. The current revision says to install/uninstall closed.

Yeah install in closed position only, there was change made to the tong and they put out a service bulletin on it. Bulletin NO. CEB02-13 on 11-11-02 so you must have an older manual.

That worked installing in the closed position ...ive been racking my brain...thx again......one more question if you don't mind .....where do you position the tooth racks.....it works fine just want to know if its correct since ive taking all the tongs out

I went through all of my machines and put a scratch in the paint where the end of the rack is, in the open position. That is why I put #3 and #10 in open. You could do it in the closed position before you remove them. I also take all of my tongs and racks out every year. It would be nice if Brunswick could make a permanent installation mark for the racks, during manufacture.
