Kuzma AIR LINE 2007-6 - Manual (Page 5)

Basic setup:
Mount the armbase onto armboard. The dimension and position is the same as for Stogi
tonearms but the main cutout hole is bigger. Diameter is 40 mm. The Air line tonearm
also fits existing armbases for the Stogi tonearm. Three screws will fix the armbase from
the top through the armboard into the black metal ring.
With the Allen key, firmly secure armbase. Position it in such way, that the hole for
fixing tonearm height is easily accessible during mounting .The usual direction is away
from the platter.
Do not slide the tonearm bearing unnecessarily without compressed air!
Do not tilt the compressor while it contains oil! For transport check page 15!
Do not rotate VTA knob when the lever is in the lock position!
Lift the tonearm from box, taking care of wires and tube loop, as well as tonearm cable.
Then fix the tonearm gently into the armbase with Allen key 2mm. The tonearm should
be rotated in such a position that the headshell is outside of the platter, i.e. as in the rest
position off the record. The height of the tonearm in the armbase should be such, that the
centre of the main stainless steel shaft is at the approximate height of an LP. Check that
scale for VTA, in front of the main base, is in the middle position with the edge in line
with the thicker mark. This means that theactual VTA can be precisely adjusted
plus/minus 5 mm. If this is not the case, move the locking rod lever away from the lock
position, in a similar way to lowering a cueing device. Now by rotating the VTA knob
bring the position of the base to the middle part of the scale. Lock back gentle.
Unscrew the small black ring under the tonearm. It will slide down to the armbase. Fix
it gently. If you now unlock the tonearm in the armbase, this ring will hold the tonearm at
the same height but it can still be rotated horizontally. This is important when adjusting
tonearm geometry.
Choose the shorter piece of PVC tube that runs from tonearm to red filters. Position red
filters on the floor or other suitable place near the tonearm. Check the arrows for air flow,
which should be from compressor to red filters and then to tonearm. Connect PVC tube.
All connections are 'quick fit'. Simply push in the tube at filter and at the tonearm. It seals
automatically. When removing the tube, you must first push in the blue (or black) plastic
collar and at the same time pull out the tube. This is much easier done when there is no
compressed air inside the tube. Using the bigger piece of tubing and fix it into filters at
input. It is a hard flexible tube and it can be hidden behind your skirting board.
Permanent walking or placement of furniture on top of it, however, will break it. Plug it
into the 'quick fit' fitting on the compressor, at the filter output. If necessary the PVC tube
can be cut to length with a sharp knife. Position the tube on a hard surface and cut at 90
degrees down. The compressor is factory set for working pressure.
