Rectification
Remove spindle and
clean lower section.
Oil guide tracks and friction sur-
faces.
Re-install the spindle.
The lateral knurled screw must
not press against the pressure
pad but must instead thread
into the lateral bore on the
pressure pad; the pressure pad
must have play.
Remove swarf from the pres-
sure pad recess.
Remove the spindle from the
vice.
Unscrew the spindle from the
clamping block.
Clean both parts.
Check and clean wipers on both
sides.
Use oil for installation; do not
use grease.
Use correct screw length.
See above.
Rotating the crank anti-clock-
wise while holding the spindle
radially will cause the coupling
to engage tangibly.
Mechanical pre-clamping, then
power clamping.
Send the spindle in for repair.
Leave the crank pin in the spin-
dle.
Send the spindle in for repair.
