Rock-ola 429 Starlet Gripper mech. gears/ Cam

Moving on to the rear cam, the one that operates the three micro switches at the rear of the machine, I do think I was reading the manual correctly. It says (pg 11, CAM ADJUSTMENT) to "rotate the knurled end of the gripper motor armature clockwise until a jam occurs". At this point, the cam should be rotated until no.1 micro switch is seated in the cam groove. Now, when the gripper arm is over the magazine I can freely rotate the knurled end (under machine) clockwise quite a way until what I think is a jam occurs. It rotates so far, in fact, that the gripper arm picks up the record and lifts about two inches. Is this where I adjust the cam or is something wrong? However, if I go counterclockwise until a jam occurs, the arm goes back down and lets the record go. I would assume this is the proper position to adjust the cam. Hopefully this explains my question a little better.
