STEP 10
Fixed Mode
For FIXEDmode, follow STEPS 1 through 6. Then tighten the balance
wheel two revolutions.
Note: With the FIXEDmode selected, the bridge will still bend down,
although it will have more resistance.
Do Not Over Tighten the Spring.
— Warning —
Over tightening the spring may cause permanent
damage to your Parker Fly. If you can see 15
threads of 3/4“ (19mm), the spring may be over
tightened. Repeat STEPS 1 through 5 checking
the following.
• Does the string gauge match the spring number? (Note: Alternate
tunings may change spring performance.)
• Is the step-stop in the
HOMEposition?
• If the spring is still over tightened, replace it with a stronger spring.
Use Home Position
Only tighten the spring against the step-stop, when the step-stop is
“down” in the
HOMEposition
The Step-Stop “up” position is only for BALANCED mode
use.
