Captop Adjust SP series ...and how often to change?

[Bobas Kalobas]

I have instructions from the factory book. To adjust captops it says to bump it up til the rubber meets the head. But, when you push the finish button, it goes up to a predetermined amount anyway. I was told by a tech yesterday that the adjustment does not have to touch the captop to the head. keep it at the lowest adjustment because after you set it, it goes up and seals it anyway. He said "This way your captops will last a year." because as i explained to him that mine only last 3-4 months then i have to buy new ones. I buy 3 to 5 pair of captops a year.

Depending on how much you use the machine, they are rated 6 months, but I've gotten up to 2 years on OEM's, 3rd party max 6 months.

That cap adjustment will always move up afterwards. It's basically asking you to tell it when the cap top touched the head and then it moves up enough for it to seal.
