Fit the three M5 x 80mm threaded machine screw bolts (which support the springs) to the plinth topboard as shown 
below.  Only “nip” the nuts tight by  a maximum of 1/8 th of a turn after finger tightness has been achieved and they 
start to clamp onto the wood. You will probably need to check these have not slackened off after about 2 months as they 
tend to “bed into the wood initially.

Fit the bearing house to the sub-chassis as shown below - only "nip" the nuts tight with a pair of pliers - more force than 
this is detrimental to performance - the top of the bearing house should be approx 22mm from the top of the bearing 
house plate. Please note that ALL the bolts on the Sub-chassis assembly are carefully torqued to a correct tension at 
factory  – DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY ALLEN BOLT SETTINGS OR IT WILL DEGRADE THE 
PERFORMANCE. ”. The sub-chassis is attached to the “spring plate” by one “pivot bolt” - the two plates should be 
free to swivel and are loosely restrained by an “anti-rotate bolt” - this locating bolt on the side of the sub-chassis should 
not be tightened at all. The pivot bolt is tightened at factory and should not be tightened or the performance will degrade 
significantly.
