MAJOR CI.AW ADJUS'IMENI' FOR SMALLER ITEMS
If you haven't realized it already, your
customers will eventually GET TIRED OF
PLAYING FOR "PWSH". Operators have had
great success in keeping crane grosses
high by using a wide assortrrent of
jewelry, watches, and roore expensive itemc.;A
in their cranes. You are missing the boat •
if you always keep these items in a box or
case just because the claw opening is set
for "large".
Figure 1: Shown are the two possible "Claw
Cam" settings which adjust the claw rest
position from 2/-1/2" to 4" openings. With
the cam in the 'small' setting, the claw
cab better pick up small objects Like
watches, jewelry, end many 'out of the
case' objects.
"Large" setting for Plush and Large
objects
"Small" setting for Jewelry, watches and
other 'out of the case' objects
Figure 1 shows the two positions of the
"Claw earn". The rest position of the claw
can be adjusted from 2 1/2" to 4" by
turning this claw earn. The large opening
is the one that is used for plush toys and
items of similar size. The small opening
is best used \\hen picking up prizes such
as watches. The small prizes should be
placed in a depth of 1-1/2" (for best
results} of the plastic granular beads
that come with the cranes.

There are some remaining adjustrrents that
I'll go into in II'!Y next article that will
give you the ability to make sure that the
claw can grab any shape items (within
reasonable size and weight limits of
course}, and also 'tease' your customers
when they don't line up their desired
prize correctly. For futher information,
call our technical service department and
ask for Jirrmy or II'!YSelf at (201} 287-4990.
