Steps To Adjust the Lid Spring Assembly in Your Chamber Sealer
Remove the Front Panel
1. Disconnect the four screws attaching the front panel of your Vac610. These are located in the four corners of the top panel.
2. Gently lift up and out, removing the front panel.
3. Once removed, disconnet the hose attached to the vacuum gauge on the front panel.
4. Place the front panel slightly off to the side, being mindful of the wires attaching it to the body of the machine.
The Lid Springs
5. Next, focus your attention to the tops of the lid springs. You will see two sets of two nuts attached to the top of each spring.
6. Take your thin 14mm wrench and hold the lower nut in place while using the other wrench to loosen the top nut. Do this for both sets of nuts on the spring.
7. Repeat on the other spring.
Making Adjustments
8. Now you can make adjustments based on your Vac610’s needs. To reduce tension in your springs (reduce lid lift), rotate the lower nuts on each spring counterclockwise. To increase the tension in your springs (increase lid lift), rotate the lower nuts on each spring clockwise.
9. Whatever actions you take on one set of two nuts, be sure to do to the other set on the spring.
10. Repeat on opposite spring.
11. Adjust until desired result: upon pressing lid down, lid then lifts slightly off of machine about one and a half to two inches. You should hear a click from the lid switch in the back as the lid lifts up off of the deck.
Finishing Up
12. Once you’ve properly adjusted the springs, retighten the top nuts on each spring. Hold the lower nut still with the thin 14mm wrench and tighten the top nut down with your other 14mm wrench.
13. After you’ve tightened the top nuts down, retest the lid by closing it on one side, then the other.
14. Reattach hose to vacuum gauge on the back of the front panel.
15. Carefully reinsert front panel and screw it back into place. Enjoy your now smoothly functioning chamber vac!
