Theres an allen key screw underneath the crane arm (top of playfield). Once you loosen, you can rotate or remove the top of the crane.

You can see it through a circular hole and need to poke your allen key in

There are no pictures that will help you -- a picture with the crane parked in normal position and picture parked for ball pick up.

The crane motor always turns in the same direction. There is a cam on the motor that operates the crane in a 145 degree arc (per the manual.)

To adjust the crane, go into crane test. Manually operate the crane motor by pressing the start button. Apply just enough set screw pressure so the crane moves but will slip on the shaft when it hits a limit switch. You should be able to get it adjusted using this technique. The display will indicate limit switch actuation.

In the access hole on the side of the crane is a socket head set screw that requires an allen wrench to un-tighten and tighten. I don't recall the size, I think it's either a 5/32 or 9/64 wrench.

Very cool! My LAH crane could use a little adjustment as well. Thanks for this!

I came across this post tonight trying to fix this exact issue, and 8 years later it helped. I love Pinside and this community. Thank you.

For future reference. It is 9/64”

Thanks!
