Step 1:
To put on the new string simply slide
one of the bullets into the nut, then
place the other bullet into the
appropriate saddle and push down on
the back on the saddle until you hear,
or feel, a snap.
Step 2:
This sound is the spring-loaded sliding
latch snapping into place. If you don't
hear or feel the snap, push the sliding
latch toward the saddle until it catches.
Making sure the sliding latch is all the
way forward to its locked position is
important because if it isn't two things
will happen:
1) The replaced string will be held
sharp, and;
2) the safety catch will not be engaged
and the string could suddenly and
unexpectedly be released and fly across
the room.

Step 4:
Then do a couple of stretching pulls
on the string.
Step 5:
The string is now seated and no more
stretching is necessary, just play. In fact
if you stretch the string too vigorously
you will damage the string. Just play
the string in for a bit and re-adjust your
tuning with the fine-tuning screw as
needed.
If the string you're replacing was tuned
to your desired pitch, the new string
you install should be able to be tuned
to that pitch with the fine tuner screw.
If the fine tuners do not have enough
range to tune the new string to the
previous pitch you will need to adjust
the range tuner setscrew as described
below. See "Setting the fine tuner range
on the SpeedLoader Tremolo".
Step 3:
Now that the new string has been properly installed you should seat the new
string. To seat the new string press down firmly on the string just in front of
the saddle and just in front of the nut.
