not adjust the
check valve screw on the base until the upright tube is securely in position
(see Fig. #1). Place the chrome shell into position on top of the base.

leakage. Faulty operation of the air check-valve device on the underside of
the base will be noticed if the upright tube is not installed tightly.

C. Now the air check-valve screw, located on the underside of base, may be loos

ened or tightened for desired cushioning of the microphone stand tube assembly
(see Fig. #1).

washers, flat washers, and bolts provided (see Fig. #2).
