Over tightening the screw can damage the controller or the instrument. Note: The controller can be attached to practically any body type using the adhesive strips or pads. For more information, please see "Reusable adhesive pads" below. Adhesives may react chemically with some instrument finishes, resulting in discoloration or other damage. If in doubt, apply a small piece of adhesive strip/pad in an inconspicuous location for several days to determine whether they affect the finish of the instrument. If your instrument has a curved top or the installation location is shaped in such a way that the controller cannot be attached using adhesive strips alone, apply spacers to compensate for the uneven surface. Like the strips, the spacers also have adhesive on both sides which is protected by backing paper. The adhesive pads can be used in the same way as the strips to attach the controller. The pads can be reused many times, and can be washed carefully with a neutral cleaning product to remove dust and dirt, restoring their adhesive properties. When removing the controller, put the original protective backing back on the pads to keep them in good condition.
