Setting Tonearm Height:
35. With the stylus resting on the test disc, the top of the tonearm should appear
horizontal with the top of the test disc. If this is not the case, replace the
cartridge stylus guard, if supplied, and remove the arm and set it aside. Loosen
the black arm shaft lock nut and adjust the height of the pivot shaft by turning
it either up or down, depending on whether you wish the arm to be higher or
lower at the pivot. Re-tighten the lock nut and replace the arm.
Lift Mechanism Assembly:
36. Insert the threaded guide shaft into the lift platform. Thread the guide shaft
into the lift platform so that one end of the shaft is just visible over the top of
the lift platform.
37. Finger tighten the jam nut against the underside of the lift platform. Nearly all
the length of the guide shaft should extend down from the lift platform.
38. Take one of the two knurled brass nuts and thread it on to the threaded pillar
extending up from the cueing assembly with the raised center area facing
upward. Thread this as far down as it will go. (This will give the lowest cue
height and can be adjusted up from there as needed. If a lower cue height is
desired, do not use this lower brass nut.)
39. Position the lift platform so that the guide rod slides into the hold provided on
the platter side of the arm cone. The threaded shaft on the opposite side of the
cueing assembly will slide through the small hole provided for it.
40. Thread the second knurled brass nut on to the threaded shaft over the lift
platform. Finger tighten to secure the lift platform.
41. The height of the lift platform can now be adjusted as needed by:
o Loosening the upper knurled brass nut.
o Adjusting the height of the lower knurled brass nut and lift platform
o Re-tightening the upper nut to secure the lift platform.
42. Place the arm back on the pivot shaft, carefully passing the wire harness down
through the cut-out in the lift platform.
43. Operate the cueing assembly. The lift platform should now elevate the arm
enough for adequate clearance of the cartridge above the test disc (or record)
but should not lift the arm completely off the pivot shaft. (If the arm is raised
too high it may not re-seat properly on the pivot when lowered.)
44. The inset screw on the side of the cueing canister adjusts the rate of descent of
the arm. This can be adjusted using the supplied Allen key. Note: If the
threaded shaft of the cueing assembly interferes with the free movement
of the outrigger weight/anti-skate mechanism, loosen the lowest knurled
locking nut and lower the height of the threaded shaft to compensate.
Repeat lift platform adjustments if necessary.
45. Plug the arm wiring harness into the mating socket in the top of the output
terminal. When the plug is oriented correctly the triangle marking on the plug
should face the front of the turntable. Plugging this plug in the wrong way will
not do any harm but will reverse the left and right channels. |
