13. Problems
Cartridge skips the groove:
Excessive dirt on record: check and clean for small particles stuck in the groove
Tonearm is not horizontal: check horizontality
Inaccurate geometry: check that the cartridge tip follows line
Very eccentric LP-?
Low tracking force
Moisture or dirt in the bearing: clean and check PVC bottle and Red filters stands
clean shaft and bearing with alcohol- see # 11
Cartridge does not cue first groove but runs in:
Tonearm is tilted down toward the centre of the record : adjust horizontal level down.
See above
Cartridge runs from record outwards:
Tonearm is tilted up towards the edge of the record: adjust horizontal level upwards.
Compressor can not generate enough pressure:
Check that the red filters drainage system is sealed
Leaking in the system: check tubes, filters, drain bottle at the compressor.
Compressor does not start:
Caused by overheating from being in closed space. Switch off and wait to cool down
for 1-2 hours
Check the mains electricity.
Compressor- transportation:
If you can ensure the compressor will be in an upright position at all times it is not
necessary to remove the oil. If, however, there there is a possibility that it may be
tilted or turned upside down then the oil must be removed. To do this it is necesarry
to refer to the compressor instruction manual.
Note: First ensure that there is no pressure in the compressor and that it is
disconnected from the mains. Lo osen the screw holding the rubber seal on top of the
compressor head and lift off the cover. Pour away oil and return the head cover and fix
the screw. Ensure that sealing ring is correctly positioned.
