Please read the owner's manual of the cartridge and connect the leads accordingly. The TON FARM is set to ride parallel with the record disc when an 18mm ( ± 3mm) cartridge is employed as shown in the figure. 18mm I Parallel When using a cartridge which is not 18mm in height, adjust the height of the TONEARM at the tonearm center post. Loosen the screw on the center post using a 2mm alien wrench as shown, adjust the TONEARM so that it is parallel with the record disc, then tighten the screw securely.

The HEADSHELL with cartridge is attached to the TONEARM by pushing it fully in and then tightening the HEADSHELL CLAMP Do not remove the stylus guard before you have secured the HEADSHELL in position. Overhang Adjustment 1. Place the accessory TRACKING ANGLE GAUGE on the CENTER SPINDLE and raise the flap. 2. Be sure to remove the stylus guard when adjusting the overhang. 3. Move the TONEARM directly over the CENTER SPINDLE. Line up the raised flap on the gauge with the CENTER SPINDLE and the TONEARM base. Gently move the cartridge backward or forward in the HEADSHELL so that the stylus tip lines up with the corner of the flap. Slightly slacken the retaining screws. The flap should be in the same straight line as the axis of the tonearm and the center spindle. Move the cartridge backward or forward so that the stylus tip comes precisely over the position indicated on the flap. Flap -Ii Tracking Angle - --Gauge Tracking Angle Adjustment 1 . Check to be sure that the overhang adjustment has been completed. 2. Now move the TRACKING ANGLE GAUGE until it is in the same position with respect to the TONEARM as that shown in figure A. Place the stylus over the tracking angle setting point while keeping the stylus guard attached. 3. Without changing the stylus position, turn the cartridge so that its front edge is parallel with the lines on the gauge. 4. Now move the gauge so that it is in the position shown in figure B and check that the cartridge is still parallel with the parallel lines as it was in step 3 above. If it is not parallel, then repeat steps 3 and 4 alternately until the cartridge is parallel in both cases. 5. When the above adjustment is completed, then fully tighten the screws that attach the cartridge to the HEADSHELL. Adjust the cartridge so that the front of the cartridge is parallel with the parallel lines. Parallel Figure A Parallel Figure B 4
