Adjustment ofthe tonearm height (See Fig . 22 .)
The height of the tonearm can be adjusted up to 6 mm, and
a scale is provided on the adjust ring in 0 .5 mm increments .
Be sure to set the proper arm height using the adjust ring
scale and referring to the table .
For example, if the cartridge height is 17 .5 mm, the arm-
height adjust ring should be positioned
at
the
intermediate
location between 2 and 3 on the scale . (See Fig . 22 .)
Caution :
Be sure to lock the tonearm by turning the arm lock knob
in the direction indicated by the arrow after finishing
the
height adjustment for the tonearm .
Lubrication (See Fig . 23 .)
Apply 2 or 3 drops of oil once
after every 2000 hours'of
operation .
The time interval is much longer than that for conventional
typemotors (200-500 hours) .
Please purchase original oil . (Part number is SFWO 010 .)
