Bicycles
•
SuperJaws is ideal for clamping bicycles during repair and maintenance, and will hold
the bicycle securely at the required height. However, modern bicycle frames need careful
consideration before clamping. Carbon fibre frames are very easy to damage and should
not be clamped. Steel bicycle frames are possible to clamp, so long as the clamping is
applied carefully and slowly. Ideally, for any frame, the best solution is to fit an old seat
post to the frame and clamp the seat post instead, to prevent the frame being damaged
Note: Clamp so the weight of the bicycle is dispersed evenly across SuperJaws.
Bicycles are considerably heavier at the back than at the front.
Additional Uses
There are many additional uses for SuperJaws which are not featured in
this manual. Whatever the use, it is important to heed the following:
•
Always check SuperJaws is correctly assembled before use
•
Do not overload SuperJaws beyond its load capacity (see 'Specification')
•
Make sure the workpiece is correctly balanced
•
Do not exert too much force on the workpiece while clamping
•
Do not use clamping force beyond 1,000kg; only clamp to the required force
•
Do not use this product as a step or for building work platforms for people
Accessories
Engineers Jaws SJA470
•
The bolt-on jaws are manufactured from extremely strong ductile cast
iron, and are specially shaped to increase grip when clamping pipe or
round sections up to 50mm in diameter. They also have an integral anvil
for hammering or bending of heavy metal sections (Image AJ)
Log Jaws SJA460
•
Suitable for gripping logs or poles, these jaws also bolt onto the standard steel jaws
and are formed from steel plate, and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance (Image AK)
Note: Logs or poles up to 175mm in diameter are gripped
firmly for chain sawing, drilling, rebating etc.
Extension Tray SJA420
The Extension Tray fits through the Extension Tray Mounting Holes (12) in either side of
the main Body (4). It provides outboard support for the workpiece, keeping it level while
clamping into position. A tough, high density polyethylene tray locates onto the support
tubes as a convenient place to hold tools, parts and other accessories (Image AL)
Note: For additional support and capacity a second extension tray
can be fitted onto the opposite side of SuperJaws
Note: Check with your Triton stockist for additional accessories for your SuperJaws.
Spare parts for your SuperJaws can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com.

Maintenance
•
Basic maintenance of this product should ensure a long working life
•
Any damage to SuperJaws should be repaired and carefully
inspected before use by qualified repair personnel
•
Servicing should be carried out using only original Triton replacement parts
•
Triton Tools will not be responsible for any damage or injury caused
by unauthorised repair or mishandling of the machine
Please note:
•
Depending on the type of use, it is quite likely this product will receive scratches
and marks that will remove paint and result in corrosion over time. Check
for corrosion and treat if necessary. Some disassembly may be required
to check thoroughly, such as the underside of the moving jaw. Always dry
SuperJaws if it gets wet, particularly on any exposed metal surfaces
•
Lubricant or grease may be required from time to time, but always
apply it in moderation and never apply lubricant if it will affect the way
the product operates. Any mechanism should only be lubricated with
a light spray lubricant which cannot affect the way it operates
•
If SuperJaws becomes damaged or corroded, and requires major repair,
such as welding, you can no longer rely on the given figures for clamping
force or load capacity. Under these circumstances, SuperJaws should be
replaced immediately, as this level of repair will void the guarantee
Removing the urethane jaw faces
•
The jaw facings can be removed to achieve a greater clamping range, or for
replacement if worn or damaged, or when fitting the optional jaws
Note: Replacement urethane jaw pads are available from your
Triton stockist or from www.toolsparesonline.com.
1. The Fixed Jaw Urethane Face (1) is removed by carefully prying it off the
Fixed Jaw (14) using a broad screwdriver or similar (Image AM)
2. To remove the Moving Jaw Urethane Faces (2), push the backing face
to the right (when viewed from the front of SuperJaws), in order to
disengage the connection pins. The backing face can then be removed,
allowing the front to be pulled off the Moving Jaw (15) (Image AN)
•
The pawl carrier pivot pin may occasionally require a small amount of
spray lubricant, as shown, if it doesn't pivot smoothly (Image AP)
Storage
•
Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
