TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE LOCKING NUT
The tuning machines have spring-loaded mechanisms which
automatically take up wear, preventing backlash. However, it is
possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the
machines. Each machine has a tension adjustment screw, as
illustrated.
1) Remove 3 pcs. of hexagonal screws fixing the Lock Pads.
(illustration — A)
2) Loosen 4 pcs. of screws fixing the Nut Base.
(illustration — B)
3) Adjust the height by the Height Adjustment Screw. The Nut
Base gets higher by clockwise rotation, and lower by coun-
terclockwise rotation. (illustration — C)
Clockwise screw rotation tightens the machine. The tuning ma-
chines should be adjusted to the extent that they are firm, but
can turn smoothly. This adjustment is normally unnecessary,
and excessive tightening can lead to premature tuning machine
wear.
NOTE:
As the height has been adjusted in the best con-
dition in the factory, please avoid the adjustment
unless you have suitable experience. We suggest
that you entrust this adjustment to your dealer.
