Resumen del manual
«. ¡ / / ы ы / / PEDAL STEEL GUITAR The Most Advanced Design In Its Field S il Y- UP (cont'd) RIGHT leg, care should be taken ¡n assembling. Insert these two legs irvAhe front side of the instrument. Each clamp catch should be pointed to.ward the other leg with the hook facing the instrument. If the hooks face the opposite direction, exchange the legs. Insert the two remaining legs. FIGURE 2 (B) With the pedal board in an upside down position, place the pedal board flanges on each side of clamp catch on one front leg. Spread tegs slightly and repeat same on other front leg. Make siire that clamp hook and plamp catch hook mate properly and lurn wing one half turn clockwise to lock. (See Fig. 3) FIGURE 3 / (C) The pull rods are then connected to one of the two bell crank holes located on the front of the frame. The hole nearest.the edge of bell crank will provide easier pedal action, but longer stroke. Insert the hook end of the rod into the bell crank, slip the eye-bolt end over the eye-bolt bushing located on the side of each pedal. Each pull rod is numbered at the eye-bolt end for convenience, number One starting from the .left side in playing position. (See Fig. 4) FIGURE 4 4 / / TUNING MECHANISM The new tuning mechanism is designed to eliminate excess string length and to provide a faster and more precise method of tuning and string changing. The tuner block (right end of instrument from playing position) must be adjusted to top before starting string installation. (See Fig. 5) The string should be threaded through the hole in the raise lever (left end of instrument). (See Fig. 6) . It is then routed through the slot in the string post. Loop the string around on side of the string post and back through the slot again. (See Fig. 7). One loop is sufficient for most strings; however, it is suggested that two loops be used on small unwound strings. The string is then looped under the screw head and upward through the string post slot. Tighten screw firmly. Pull string out of slot gently. (Do not kink.) Clip off excess string approximately half way through slot. (See Fig. 8). Sharp end should spring back into slot. Grasp tuner knob with thumb on outside of frame and any finger on the inside and tune string to pitch. Small strings on high tunings should be tuned to pitch gradually. This procedure will seem awkward at first but will soon prove to be much faster than traditional tuning ways. TUNING MECHANISM (cont'd) POST TWIST LOCK SCREW FIGURE 7 FIGURE 8 I / TUNING CHANGER The changer unit is designed for easy pedal action and quick tuning changes. Each set screw bar has twenty holes, ten for raising and ten for lowering. (See Fig. 9). The large hole is for raising and the small hole is for lowering. The extreme left pedal operates the bottom bar of each changer, depending on the position of the shift lever. Each set screw adjusts in (clockwise) to increase the amount of change and out (counter-clockwise) to decrease same. All ten strings can be operated per pedal if you so desire; however, less strings per pedal means easier action. To change a tuning, move, add or subtract screws as desired. CAUTION: All adjustments listed below should be made before operating shift. When changing tunings, set up the desired tuning with pedal down. Release pedal. If strings do not return to pitch, adjust the pull bar on each end of bar outward (counter-clockwise) until strings return to f5itch. If, however, a new tuning is set up and strings return to pitch but has excess play, this should be adjusted out by turning large screws in clockwise. The pull bar screws should always be turned the'same amount to assure that each end hits the stop at the same time. This instrument is equipped with lowering spring adjustment. (See Fig. 10). After all tunings and string gauge changes are made and adjusted, turn instrument upside down. The string guides are located in the bottom of the changer housing. Turn each string guide counter-clockwise until mating lever separates from nylon stop. Turn string guide clockwise until lever rests against nylon stop then add three full turns. This should complete all changer adjustments. * 6 PEDAL ADJUSTMENTS \' All pedals should be checked to make sure they do not touch the floor when depressed. If a pedal needs to be raised, loosen the pedal stop screw and adjust the pull rod sleeve directly above the eye bolt. (See Fig. 4) . To lower a pedal, loosen the pull rod sleeve the desired amount and reset the stop screw. IMPORTANT: The pedal stop screw should not be too tight as it will actuate pedals and/or interfere with shift mechanism. When changing tunings all changes should be made at changer and excess play adjusted out on both necks before adjusting pedal stop screws. Two holes are provided in each pedal. The hole nearest the pedal board will provide easier pedal action but longer stroke. To change leverage ratio at this point, remove screws and bushing and...
