NX remote bottle opener problem
My NX bottle opener some times works, some times doesn't. The motor is turning(you can see turning and hear it) but it isn't opening the bottle. I've taken it apart and nothing seems to be broken or worn, so my guess is that it needs a clutch adjustment but I don't have any paper work showing me how to do this.
If you could tell me how to check this it would be appreciated or if you think something else is wrong let me know

I always make sure I can move the valve gear up and down about 1/8" after the opener is put on, this will allow for the gear to screw up as it opens. If you have to adjust you just take the 4 small screws off the top, pull the gear out and theres a 10mm nut on one side and a phillips head on the other. clockwise on the nut tightens clutch. I also make sure I just tighten the valve enough to close it and not crank it down prior to install.Eric
