[. . . ] Offer up the headshell to the tone-arm identifying the half-round key-way near the front. As the headshell is pushed onto the tone-arm resistance will be felt as the spring loaded contact pins in the tone-arm are compressed. Align the bolt-hole in the headshell clamp-boss with the key-way in the tone-arm and insert the clamp-bolt until it touches the nut. Removing the headshell Using the same wrench release the clamp-bolt and unscrew it. To remove the bolt push the headshell onto the tone-arm using just enough pressure to overcome the spring loaded contact pins in the tone-arm plug. 4. 12 lift out using the long leg of the wrench and applying slight side pressure so that it does not slip out of the socket. The nut remains in its housing in the underside of the headshell where it is retained with adhesive. 16. 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. Position the arm so that it is clear of the armrest and the cartridge is clear of the turntable. 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. Select the speed by pressing the Power Supply - Control Unit 4. 15 button 33 or 45, the LED appropriate will light up. Press the button marked stop/start and the turntable platter will rotate and the `stop/start' LED light up. Depress the stop/start button again to stop rotation also before changing the speed selected. The Model 10 is not equipped with a lid as this could cause acoustic feedback. [. . . ] To effect movement the cap is turned by passing a small screwdriver blade through the cross hole in it in the manner of a tommy-bar. Use both hands for maximum control moving it slowly with gentle firmness. The golden rule is `a very little at a time' as the bearing could be severely damaged by over-tightening and failure to observe these instructions would not be covered by warranty. Clockwise rotation tightens the bearing anti-clockwise rotation releases it. [. . . ]
