IMPORTANT TECH NOTE: bearing on Blizzard should feel a little
"loose", and be a little noisy when spinning. Excessive grease in
bearing may cause slight binding, affecting performance. If point does not
remain stationary when top spins, soak point in turpentine or mineral
spirits in a small container that supports top so only tip is submerged.
Allow solvent to evaporate before playing.
Be sure to pick up the DVD of instruction and top tricks! (See below) |
