Remove stylus unit with guard before working with leads and screws. Handle all parts carefully.
Note colours and channel indications on the rear of the body for correct connection of tone arm leads.
Use 5 mm screws for headshells up to 3.5 mm thick. Ensure screws do not touch the body.
Adjust overhang before fully tightening screws. Set tone arm parallel, anti-skating, and stylus pressure.
Remove stylus dust regularly with the enclosed brush. Brush gently forward in the direction of the diamond tip.
Avoid propyl alcohol or other fluids, as they can severely damage the diamond cement and suspension system.
Remove stylus guard by holding front/rear and gently pressing the rear while tilting it downwards.
