Raise the tone arm as far as it will go without resistance. 2. Grasp the stylus assembly as shown in the illustration and pull forward, away from the cartridge. LUBRICATION Do not attempt to lubricate the mechanism. Factory lubrication is normally sufficient for quite some time. However, in order to keep the unit in top operating condition, we suggest you have it inspected once a year by a qualified service technician. RECORD CHANGER ADJUSTMENTS TONE ARM BALANCE 1. Rotate the stylus pressure con- trol dial to 0. 2. Release the counterweight screw and slide the counterweight to the approximate point where the tone arm floats in a horizontal position. Re-tighten the counterweight screw. 3. The fine adjustment for tone arm balance will be achieved by rotating the counterweight until the tone arm is in the exact horizontal position. STYLUS PRESSURE When the tone arm is properly balanced, set the stylus pressure control dial to 3 grams. ANTI-SKATE The anti-skate control dial should always be set for the same value as the stylus pressure. Set the dial so the indicator points to the area between the 2 and 4 markings. TONE ARM HEIGHT The tone arm should be adjusted so that the tone arm tube clears the top of the locking rest by Vs" before setting into the rest. Turn the height adjustment screw clockwise to lower the tone arm and counterclockwise to raise it. STYLUS SETDOWN With a single 12" record on the turntable, turn the stylus setdown screw until the stylus enters the record grooves Va" from the edge of the record.
