Damping Levels  

     to absorb tremor.  

Decrease to ease movement. 

Use the small Allen key as a 
lever to turn both damper 
adjusting wheels. 

The arm needs to be moved 
backwards and forwards and 
up and down a few times 
before the damping level 
settles.

Adjust the 

Lift Spring 

to lift the arm 

faster or slower.  

Turn the adjusting screw several 
turns with the large Allen key. 

  

If a 

Forward Spring 

is fitted it is usually 

adjusted so that the spoon finishes coming 
forwards after it has finished lifting up.  
To adjust:  

Bring the arm forwards 

Carefully loosen the screw in the top part 
of the forward spring attachment, taking 
care not to allow the top part to rotate 
quickly and throw the Allen key!  

Rotate this top part to change the 
tension in the spring 

Retighten the screw.
