Adjustment of Traco Windows

Anyone know how? They are the double-hung type. I tried removing the adjuster and twisting as it's supposed to be done, but it just turns without tightening. They are great windows when they work but when not, they are a PITA.

For spiral balances, out of the Traco binder:
"Remove the tamper lock, hook the balance tool over the exposed balance rod pin, and pull the rod out (hold firmly). Allow the spiral to unwind, while counting turns. Add/delete turns as needed, keeping the spiral rod less than 2" from the tube end. Do not exceed 15 turns.

Traco: 1 800 837 7002.

The windows should have a lable on the top rail on the top sash. It tells you what the windows are, when ordered, the order # so you can get spare parts.
