WHEN BUYING KEYS ON eBAY . . . | When buying keys on eBay, ALWAYS ask the shipper to remove the lever arm(s) and wrap separately from the key, which should be DOUBLE BOXED to ensure its safe arrival. |
FOR OWNERS OF THE BRASS RACER AND SQUARE RACER | 1. (Numbers will refer to the key machine drawing) There is a nylon set screw (11) inside the contact post (10) which puts pressure on the contact post screw (8). To access this screw, it is necessary to remove the contact post from the base and use a small flat head screwdriver to adjust. Do NOT remove the contact screw from the post during adjustment. Once the screw is adjusted for satisfactory tension, remount the contact post to the base. 2. Warning!! Removing the magnet holder completely could result in loss of the small magnet tension spring (15) and the magnet tension ball (16). They are very small and hard to find! |

ATTENTION, OWNERS OF THE ORIGINAL, BLUE RACER, IAMBIC, VIBROKEYER, LIGHTNING BUG AND CHAMPION! | | The first step in adjusting your key is locating the TRUNION LOCK SCREW.

After all adjustments are complete, the trunion lock screw MUST be tightened in order for the lever arm to stay in position. Future adjustments will need to be made depending on time of operation. |
WHEN CLEANING KEYS | | . . . do not use any products that contain bleach! They can be very destructive on plastic finger pieces. |
