ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Fixed Clamp Installation
To install the clamps, remove the winged lock knob to
separate the knob from the lower guide bushing. Be
careful not to lose the radial thrust bearing components
located in the center recess of the knob.
Align the clamp base with the clamp slot of the turntable
base. Insert the clamp guide bushing into the clamp from
the bottom of the turntable making sure to engage the
guide with the clamp slot.
Place the load bushing into the top of the clamp base
mating it to the lower guide bushing. After checking that
the thrust bearing is positioned correctly in the base of
the winged lock knob, screw the knob into the base
bushing until fully seated.
The post of the string clamp head and tube of the string
clamp base are treated with grease to provide protection
against corrosion during shipping. Remove any excessive grease with a clean cloth prior to use. The post and
tube may also be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. After
this type of thorough cleaning, the post and tube should
be treated with a light coating of machine oil to protect
the surfaces against corrosion and to ensure smooth
operation.
