Is this much play normal? (Video)

[rcnut]

Building my first Tekno, an EB48 2.1 and it's been going great so far! Only thing that's throwing me for a loop is how much forward to backward play there is in the rear arms (both of them). Is this normal? Did I miss something super obvious?

Here is a video showing it: https://streamable.com/woxw4a

Thanks for any help!

Seems like you’re missing some spacers. It should be minimal. Mine has just about no play yet still moves onthe hingpin freely.

Thanks for the reply! I agree and that is what I thought as well, but looking at the manual and watching this youtube video neither of them show any spacers during assembly (same thing for the front end arms, not just the rear).

In the video it's fairly clear he also has a decent amount of play in the arms just like mine. It's very strange and I don't understand if this is just an oversight of the manual or actually intended?

In case anyone from the future finds this post Tekno support confirmed this amount of play is normal.
