To mount the shoulder rest, make sure both
pins are open (as shown in the drawing).
Place the two small feet
over
the silver spring
(a)
and fully push the pins in to secure the
shoulder rest in place
(b)
. To remove the
shoulder rest, simultaneously pull the pins out.
We recommend to check the fully locked
position of the pins during longer or energetic
periods of playing your instrument. Pins that
are not in the fully locked position will damage
the pin lock system.

CARE NOTE
Make sure you regularly clean and oil the pins.
A good choice is to use sewing machine oil.
Detach the shoulder rest from your instrument
and put a bit of oil on the pins using a Q tip.
Clean the pins with it until the Q tip no longer
shows any dark residue. Then move the pins
in and out a few times. (Do not use olive oil
for this). Cleaning the hinge of the adapter
regularly may be beneficial. This is best done
with a chenille wire or pipe cleaners. (The hole
where both pins go in).
For lubricating, we recommend to order the
lubricating pen from our webshop, which is
approved by Swiss Airport for international
flights.
