Making the dual points operational
The cork packing peices shown below are critical, to prevent damage to the
bearing points in transit. Gently remove these to make the arm operational
and keep the cork in a safe place. This MUST be replaced whenever you
send the arm by post or any form of courier as they throw boxes around
severely and damage to the points and cups occures unless the cork is in
place.
If you ever lose these instructions they can be downloaded from our web site under technical
support.

CHECK THAT ALL IS WELL - Once you have installed the arm as per the general instruction
sheet, check the arm for accuracy - The stylus down force should be consistently accurate to
within plus or minus 0.1 grams. Higher deviations indicate that the bearing has been damaged or
incorrectly adjusted.
To check consistency measure the stylus down force over a succession of 10 or so movements of
the arm into the arm clip and then onto a stylus force gauge. It is best to use a digital force gauge
for this as a “balance” type can give inconsistent readings with errors of up to 0.5 grams.
