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.
