NSTALLATION Remove transit screw from base and keep in a safe
place.
* Put all the oil supplied into the bearing housing. Carefully put inner
platter into the bearing housing, and support it as it sinks down to prevent
damage to the bearing surfaces.
Fit the belt around the inner platter and motor pulley. Place the outer platter
with mat onto the inner platter.
If your deck is fitted with a Linn Akito tonearm, set the tracking weight as
follows:
Make sure the arm Is clipped into its rest, the bias is off and the lift/
lower device is lowered. With tracking dial facing backward, screw the
counterweight clockwise (as you look at the dial) onto the arm, pushing
gently to engage the thread. Remove the stylus guard. Holding the fingerlift,
unclip the arm and move it to between its rest and the platter.
Turn the counterweight to the position which balances the arm, i.¢., where
the stylus is floating at about record height. Clip the arm back into its rest.
Turn the tracking dial while holding the counterweight until ‘Q’ is aligned
with the line on top of the arm.
Check the arm ts still balanced. If not you have moved the counterweight
when setting the tracking dial, so re-balance the arm and re-set the tracking
dial to ‘O°
Turn the counterweight clockwise (as you look at the dial) to the desired
tracking force. Set the bias to the same value.
(See General Installation for more information.)
Check the arm height is correct. The arm-tube should be parallel to the
record surface. Adjustment can be made by loosening the arm height
adjustment screw with a 4mm hexagon key, moving the arm to the correct
height and locking the screw. The screws should be firm, but not
excessively tight.
