REally??? The needle to be in the highest postion? How do you adjust the tension knob??? It seems real tight, i thought maybe i would oil it, but that did nothing :-(
You should turn it counterclockwise, I believe. Mine came adjusted too tight for me from the factory. Also, you know the metal tab with the three holes? Check to make sure you're going through that the correct way, and perhaps only go through two...
