Tricks to making it work
- Put just enough weight on the top so that it doesn’t lift
off the pad while raising top to levitation height; too much weight causes
top to drop back down.
- After attempting to level the base, take a few test runs
and observe the tops tendencies. If top tends to fly off on one particular
side, raise the base on that side by twisting corresponding leg.
- Many people can’t spin a top- use electric top spinner.
