Loosen all M3x4 setscrews so you
can easily remove the pins.

Make sure that arm moves freely.

INITIAL SETTING

After inserting clips, carefully tighten all M3x4
setscrews so the pins will not move. Do not
overtighten or you may strip the plastic.

If the arm does not have
enough play, remove the
clips and thin the clips
slightly with sandpaper.
The arms must have free
movement and not bind.
