ARM ROTATION TORQUE
The rotation torque of the arm can be adjusted by raising the tremolo and inserting a 2.0mm Allen wrench in the
screw (A) on the tremolo block. Turning this screw clockwise will tighten the arm torque and turning the screw
counter clockwise will loosen the arm torque.

ADJUSTING THE TREMOLO SPRINGS
ACT Tremolo is designed to function optimally when
it is installed approximately parallel with the
surface of the guitar body. The angle at which the
tremolo is attached can be adjusted by changing the
length of the tremolo springs under the tremolo unit.
Use a Philips (+) screwdriver to turn the tremolo
tension adjustment screws to adjust the length of
the tremolo springs. (B) If the tremolo is tilted
forward toward the neck of the guitar, turn the screws clockwise to tighten the springs. Conversely, if the tremolo
is tilted backward away from the neck, turn the screws counter-clockwise to loosen the springs. Tune the guitar
acctually, re-check the angle of the tremolo, and repeat the adjustment until the tremolo angle is correct.
