[. . . ] If a detachable stylus guard is fitted to the cartridge it should be removed, thereafter handling the arm with suitable caution. The balance-weight is unlocked by releasing its central screw using the 3mm A/F ball-ended wrench. A half turn anticlockwise is sufficient and for this purpose should not be exceeded. Check that the anti-skate control is set at zero. Position the arm so that it is clear of the armrest and the cartridge is clear of the turntable. Move the control lever into the lowered position. Balance the arm by rotating the leadscrew, using the 3mm A/F ball-ended wrench. This moves the balance-weight backwards or forwards as required. Adjust until the arm with the cartridge fitted is either level or slightly low at the front end when the balance-weight is re-locked. 2. 17. Vertical Tracking Force (VTF) Adjustment 1. For safety the lever of the lowering control should now be moved into the raised position. Rotate the dial until the chosen setting coincides with the index point. Requirements are dependent on a number of variables and the recommended setting will be found a good compromise. The situation lends itself to experimentation. Listen for any discrepancy between channels. If the left channel mistracks, reduce the setting and if the right channel mistracks increase it. 23. Complete the arm and cartridge set-up procedures as detailed above Sections 11 - 20. Place the record spindle washer on the spindle followed by the record and clamp. The latter should be screwed down clockwise enough to deflect the record flat into firm contact with the platter. With a fingertip tap the record in three places equally over its surface and with a little practice it will soon become evident whether or not the record is touching the platter. If not, some further tightening may be necessary but this is not always the answer however and sometimes releasing the clamp a little may do more to effect the desired improvement. At this point packing and all other items no longer required should be stored in the packing case so as to be available if needed in the future. [. . . ] The turntable itself is best placed on the floor of the car in front of the passenger seat. The platter and other items can be stowed elsewhere provided they are carefully protected. For all other transportation purposes the original packing case and materials must be used. 17 27.
