Slide the beam minto the groove in the base vfrom the right (see diagram). Make sure that the beam fixing

screw ois loosened far enough to allow the beam to move easily.

Using the tool

platter so that the hole in the base vfits over the record spindle. Re-fit the rod sin the beam m.

By sliding the beam mto and fro adjust the cup on the end of the rod suntil it covers the tonearm's upper

bearing.

After making sure that the base vis flat on the platter, fix the rod's sposition by tightening the fixing screw t.

By reversing the rod so that the pointed end is downward the tool may be used to establish the

vertical axis of other manufacturer's tonearms.

Adjusting for tonearm length (1"= 2,54cm)

Make sure that the beam adjustment mark plines up with the tonearm type marks n(1– 5) on the beam.

line of the scale q.

Cartridge alignment

Mount the cartridge under the headshell. Tighten the screws only enough to just fix the cartridge. Now adjust

the downforce approximately to the manufacturer's recommendation. Check the tonearm height adjustment

and adjust if necessary. Both tasks are described in the instructions supplied with your Pro-Ject record player.

Adjust the cartridge fore and aft using the elongated holes in the headshell so that the needle rests on the

correct overhang mark ufor the tonearm type (1 – 4) when the arm is lowered.

Now align the front edge of the cartridge to make it parallel to the lines which run the length of the base.

This adjustment is easier to perform if a thin propelling pencil lead is attached with sticky tape to the front of

the cartridge (provided that this has a flat front edge). Please remember to fasten the cartridge mounting

bolts tightly after completing adjustment. Check the adjustment again after tightening the bolts.

Adjusting azimuth

Loosen the grub screw which fixes the tonearm tube in position as explained in the instructions for use

accompanying your Pro-Ject record player. Lower the arm with the lift so that the needle comes to rest in the

middle of the tool's mirror w. Now revolve the tonearm until the needle is perpendicular to the mirror's

surface or until the cartridge's bottom edge is parallel to it. Re-tighten the grub screw. Re-check all

adjustments and repeat the procedures if necessary.
