Playcraft Small Climate Adjusters Owner's manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Playcraft Shuffleboard Table. This document details how to use the climate adjusters to maintain the playfield's optimal shape, correcting convex and concave conditions. I'm ready to answer your questions based on the manual's content.
  • What are climatic adjusters used for?
    What should be done before making any adjustments?
    How do you correct a convex playfield?
    How do you correct a concave playfield?
Playcra home recreaon shuffleboard tables are equipped with climac adjusters which are used to adust the
shape of the playfield. The climate of the room plays a role in how the playfield will move over me.
Occassional adjustments to the playfield may be ncessary to create the preferred profile ** IMPORTANT **
Before making any adjustments the screws temporarily securing the playfield to the floor of the cradle must be
removed. Failure to remove these screws can result in damage to the adjusters or the playfield.
Begin the adjustment process by placing a straight edge across the playfield at both ends of the table over the
posions where the climate adjuster is located. This step is used to determine if the playfield is flat, convex or
concave. The preferred shape is flat to slightly concave. ** IMPORTANT ** Please note that only minor
adjustments should be made inially and the board should be allowed to adjust to the new shape before
making addional adjustments.
Each climate adjuster consists of three anchor bolts inserted into the underside of the playfield through a
metal bar. Adjustments will be made using the center anchor bolt only. The outer two blots are used to hold the
adjuster bar in place.
