Axis Adjustment

Attention! In order to preserve the life of the springs, the device is supplied with fully decompressed axle springs. To start using the base, you need to adjust them, if necessary. 

Tools required:

• H3 Hex Key (NOT INCLUDED)
  
• H4 Hex Key (NOT INCLUDED)

1. Remove the rubber plugs from the top of the base.

2. Each axis can be adjusted independently by tightening or loosening each pre-tensioner. Use H4 Hex Key.  After you are happy with your adjustments,  reinsert the rubber plugs.
