4 Slowly unfold the knee supports until they are fully open.
5 Slide the stoppers, located on the inner side of the knee sup- ports, over the arm to lock the knee supports in place.
Stopper
Tighten the knee support lock knob and make sure that the knee support arms stay in place.
• Make sure the knee supports are firmly secured in place. If they are loose, they may produce noise or cause the instrument to move about while being played.
Don’t tighten the knee support lock knob unless the knee support arms are fully opened or fully
closed. Doing so may result in damage.
Due to the design, tightening the lock knob when the arms are closed will not lock the arms in place.
