Instructions
for Mounting Accu-Fork
- Remove Accu-Fork
from package.
- Decide where
you want to mount it (Left, Right, or Center).
- Hook bottom of
housing to the bottom of the carriage and push the top up flush against
carriage.
- Using the correct
allen wrench(3/16), tighten the top two bolts down against the groove
on the back side of the carriage lip. Note: Be sure the unit
is straight vertically.
- Remove battery
pack from package and insert into housing with the plug in the upright
position.
- Plug the battery
pack in using the plug on the battery pack and the plug hanging inside
the housing.
- Wrap the velcro
cover around the opening in the housing and attach to the other side.
- Lift the forks.
The laser should come on when movement occurs and go out 30 seconds
after movement stops. Note: If the laser comes on and will
not go out, or will not come on without a hard jolt to the unit, the
sensitivity needs to be adjusted. See:"Sensitivity Adjustment"
below.
- Lay something
flat across the tips of the forks for adjusting laser height. The
Accu-Fork box works good.
- The laser light
should be shooting just under the edge of the box thus being in-line
with the tips of the forks.
- In order to align
the laser, take the correct allen wrench(5/64) and screw the front
"set screw" on the bottom of the unit directly under the
laser in or out, depending on which way the beam needs to go until
proper alignment is achieved.

installed)
Sensitivity
Adjustment
- The sensitivity
of the unit is preset at the factory and if any adjusting is nessessary
due to possible shipping problems, VERY LITTLE turning shoud
be required in either direction.
- If the laser
comes on and stays on, take the appropriate allen wrench(.035) and
insert into the smooth hole in the bottom of the unit (See figure
1 below) and slowly turn the "set screw" clockwise 1/8
turn at a time, pausing for 45 seconds between each turn, or until
the laser goes out. The sensitivity should now be set.
- If the laser
will not come on without a hard jolt to the unit, take the appropriate
allen wrench(.035) and insert it into the smooth hole in the bottom
of the unit (See figure 1 below) and slowly turn the "set
screw" counter-clockwise until the laser shuts off. If it does
not shut repeat this step in 1/16 turn increments until it does. The
sensitivity should now be set.

approximately 8 hours.
- When LED on the
charging unit goes out, the charging cycle is complete.
- Disconnect the
transformer from the outlet.
- Disconnect the
