ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Frame Support Posts
The Progression ST support post assem-
blies are precision aligned at the factory and
are marked for proper installation on the
turntable.
Install the support post with the dot on its
base to an identical dot on the turntable. Align
the threaded hole in the bottom of the frame
support post with the slot in the turntable.
Screw the lever lock bolt with washer into the
bottom of the support post and tighten
gently.Position the washer with the rounded
edge toward the turntable. Repeat procedure
on the opposite side of the turntable.
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
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 lower 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 bear-
ing 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 dur-
ing 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.
