ssqa adjust

Is there any adjustments for the quick attach?
When I pull up on the arms (brackets) they flop around, don't stay put. Each arm has a large spring with locknuts that are adjustable. What do these springs do?

On my DK 45 the quick attach levers can be flipped all way over to the opposite side and pushed over center just like the attached side.

Mine won't stay open(unlocked) while lining up for another attachment. It is supposed to have a detent to keep it open, but it has never worked very well so I drilled a hole in the end of the lever, hooked a bungee to it & wrap the bungee around the right cylinder. This keeps it unlocked until I can get attached and unhook the bungee and lock down the lever. It takes way longer to explain it than to do it

I had the same problem. The bouncing of driving would cause the quick attach handles to drop and I would have to get out of the seat to reset them to pick up an attachment. I would often have to tighten the pivot tensioning spring bolt up. Then I noticed that every time I operated the handle the motion would loosen the bolt up. I installed two thin stainless washers ( greased ) on each side of the spring. Now the washers slip on each other. Bolt stopped loosening and spring tension stays put.

I use bungee cords to hold the levers open too. Shouldn't have to, there must be an adjustment or something!

Unfortunately no adjustment. I had done one better. I took mine apart and greased the pivot shaft so they would never freeze up. Dummy me. They move easily now but sometimes don't stay open after driving and bouncing like Amvcane. I just used washers to compress the springs a little more and so far so good.
