4. Remove the Right Arm from the T-Channel.

CAUTION

Two people are required for steps 5 through 7.

5. Set the tuba in the Stand (see note).

Note: Be sure long vinyl-coated supports on the Bracket Assemblies are turned so they extend

over small tubing on instrument. This is particularly important on models such as the King bell-up type, which have small tubing next to the main tubing.

On these models, the Bracket Assemblies must also be moved out as far as possible.

6. Reinsert Right Arm into the T-Channel.

7. Press the Right Arm and Bracket Assembly tightly against the Tuba and tighten the Right Arm Knob.

8. Tighten all Bracket Knobs.

CAUTION

Be sure that the Tuba is held tightly by the Brackets. Any looseness may allow the Tuba to be damaged.

Removing the Tuba from the Stand.

CAUTION

Once the stand is accurately adjusted, do not remove the Tuba except to put it into it’s case (for moving to another hall, going on a concert trip, ect.)

The instrument should only be removed or reinstalled by two people who know how to place it in the stand accurately and how to adjust the height properly.

Remove the Right Arm only - not the Left or Bottom Arm.

To save adjustment time when the instrument reinstalled, retain all other adjustments.
