twcoffey Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Can anyone give a clear explanation of the effect of tightening and/or loosening the spring and when do you know it is correct? Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0012 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'm not 100% sure I'm right in this assumption but as I understand don't tire hammers use a Little Giant style arm arrangement? Assuming that, you want the horizontal arms level. If they hang, the spring isn't holding them and some of its travel is wasted in picking them up. Much tighter and you are adjusting travel out of the spring and choking the hammer. Did that help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tire hammer is essentially a little giant with a different drive system. Thanks Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
