The tension is released in both of these (linked picture) machines, it's hard to tell by looking but I always release the tension on the wringer rolls when they aren't being used so they don't develop flat spots. If you are talking about adjusting them for larger items like blankets to fit through the rolls, all of that is automatic in later model wringers, the rollers are mounted in spring mechanisms that move automatically to adjust to the thickness of the item being wrung. Early wringers had a manual adjustment, most familiar was a hand screw on top of the wringer head. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK | ||

I meant tension released, then the top half of the head prop What I meant was that the "Push To Release" bar was hit, then the tension relieved, then the top part cocked wide-open, rollers separated on later model Maytag wringers. | ||

Oh sure ... I'll post them. I've had a rather "full-plate" the last few weeks! Actually, I was playing around with the wringer head on my Model E the other day and was able to lift it another inch or so from the locked-up position. I'll try to get a shot of that for you, too. | ||
