CAUTION: READ ALL WARNINGS BEFORE USING OR ATTEMPTING ANY WORK ON YOUR VICE.

SHOULD YOU BE UNSURE AT ANY POINT, STOP AND SEEK PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT.

ADJUSTING THE ASA (FRONT/BACK)

The Air Source Adapter (ASA) that connects your high pressure air tank to your Vice is a direct mount ASA. Direct

mount ASA systems have screws that attach directly to the bottom of the grip frame. This ASA can be adjusted

forward or backwards to help position the tank so that it is comfortable for you.

1. Loosen the four set screws in the ASA then

lower it from the mounting studs. Notice the

smiley fac e integrated into the milling? Pretty

cool, eh?

2. Adjust the mounting screw positions forwards

or backwards to achieve the position you prefer.

Make sure to leave two empty holes between

each stud.

3. Snug the studs in place. Don’t use excessive

force. Optionally use a drop of blue Loctite

instead to prevent them from coming loose.

Additionally a drop of Loctite will help secure

the four set screws in the ASA.

4. A dovetail mount ASA, such as the Bob Long

Cam Drive ASA, is secured by set s c r e w s w h ic h

are accessed via the inside of the grip frame.

NOTE: Not all of the holes in the bottom of the

frame are accessible from inside the grip

frame. Use of a Dovetail mounting ASA requires

o n e o r t w o 10-32 x ¼” socket set screws. These

are not installed with the marker from the

factory but are readily available from most

hardware stores for less than $1.

5. Depending on the change in the ASA position

your macroline hose may need to be replaced.

When cutting a piece of macro line m a ke su re

the cut is smooth and perpendicular to the

length of the hose. Cutting a macro line too

short will result in a poor connection and a leak

from the fitting. Using a tool with curved cutting

surfaces will help ensure a solid cut as shown in

the pic tu re .

6. Install an air tank and check for any leaks with

the ASA in the new position. If it helps remind

you – change the holes, check your hose!
