1. Rimuovere la copertura: Gently slide the front cover upwards to remove it.
2. Remove the Brake: Locate the plastic brake at the bottom of the pendulum. Carefully pull it out to release the pendulum.
3. Wind the Spring: Turn the winding key clockwise until you feel resistance. Do not overwind. This powers the metronome.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

Setting Tempo and Rhythm:

The metronome offers a wide range of tempos and rhythm patterns to suit various musical pieces and practice needs.

• Regolazione del tempo: The tempo is adjusted by moving the pendulum weight. Moving the weight up decreases the BPM (slower tempo), and moving it down increases the BPM (faster tempo). The meter plate displays BPM values from 40 (Grave) to 208 (Prestissimo).
• Selezione del ritmo: The beat selector knob allows you to choose accent patterns. For example, '4' will produce a bell sound on the first beat of every four beats, while '0' will disable the bell entirely.

Mechanical Movement and Durability:

This metronome operates purely mechanically, eliminating the need for batteries and offering a consistent, reliable performance.

A full wind of the spring provides extended operation time. For example, it can run for at least 54 minutes at 40 BPM and approximately 10 minutes at 208 BPM.

5. Manutenzione

To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your LEKATO Mechanical Metronome, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Pulizia: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Magazzinaggio: When not in use, replace the protective cover to prevent dust accumulation. Store the metronome in a stable, upright position away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
• Gestione: Handle the metronome with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can affect its delicate internal mechanism.
• Avvolgimento: Wind the spring regularly but avoid over-winding, which can stress the mechanism.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter any issues with your metronome, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Metronome does not start or stops prematurely:
  • Ensure the spring is fully wound.
  • Check if the plastic brake has been completely removed from the pendulum.
  • Verify that the metronome is placed on a flat, stable surface.
• Uneven tempo or inconsistent beat:
  • Ensure the metronome is on a perfectly level surface. Any tilt can affect the pendulum's swing.
  • Check for any obstructions around the pendulum.
  • The internal mechanism might require professional inspection if the issue persists after ensuring a level surface and no obstructions.
• Bell sound is too loud or not sounding:
  • Adjust the beat selector knob to the desired setting. '0' disables the bell.
  • If the bell is not sounding on the selected beat, gently check if the internal bell mechanism is obstructed.
