5.0. Maintenance:
5.1. General:
The bearing does not need maintenance. Dust only with a soft brush, do not blow
away dust.
If the tonearm is mounted on a wooden armboard the base may need to be
retightened to the board after a few weeks.
5.2. Checking bearings for play:
Holding the headshell, gently try to rotate tube of arm. There should be no movement
or audible clicking. If there is, consult your dealer.
Note: Ensure that Azimuth and height adjustment screws are fixed before
attempting the above.
5.3. Checking bearings friction:
Replace stylus guard and balance tonearm with bias at minimum. The arm should
move slowly and smoothly from the inner groove towards the armrest.
Add tracking force of 0.1gram. The tonearm should now go slowly down and
outwards towards the armrest.
Balance tonearm again and set tracking force to -0.1gram. Now the tonearm should
move slowly up and out towards armrest.
If the tonearm does not behave in this way, repeat tests before consulting your
dealer.
Note: Ensure that tube movement is unobstructed by the cueing device.
6.0. Transport:
During transport the tube should be locked in the armrest, secured with tape or wire
and counterweight removed.
6.1. Tonearm with cartridge on turntable:
The tonearm can be left on the turntable when being transported short distances by:
Placing tonearm in armrest.
Secure the arm to armrest with elastic band or tape.
Removing counterweight
Securing movement of subchassis by insertion of wedges.
Many turntables, however, cannot be properly packed for longer transport with the
tonearm in position and the tonearm, therefore, must be removed and repacked in
original packing.
