WARNING!
Before using your tonearm (making
adjustments or playing LPs) make sure
that all bearings of front link and back link
vertical and horizontal axis are in correct
position (Figure 5, 6, 9, 11).
Failing to set bearings and pivots
correctly may permanently damage
the cartridge, tonearm and LP.
Be careful while connecting or
disconnecting wire connectors to the
cartridge, because tonearm wiring is
very fragile. For connecting and
disconnecting wires, use tweezers.
Always pull the wire by its connector
and never pull by wire itself.
