Check that the four-legged stand base is on a level surface and ensure all assembly screws are tightened securely.
Ensure that the section is not over-expanded and that no pins are obstructing the internal expansion mechanism.
Setting up the 5901A is straightforward: attach the torso to the provided four-legged base, ensuring all fasteners are tightened. To adjust the form, rotate the internal dials located at the bust, waist, and hips until the measurements correspond to your required dimensions. Periodically check that the adjustment dials are locked securely. For care, keep the fabric clean by avoiding oil or dye transfers from fabrics. If the foam becomes dense from heavy pinning, you can gently rotate the pinning surface location to distribute wear. Always store the unit in a dry, room-temperature environment to protect the integrity of the internal adjustment mechanism.
