■ HOW TO OPERATE
1. Place a record on the turntable mat.
2. Set the speed select knob to the desired record speed.
(See Fig. 1.)
3. Remove the stylus protector, if your cartridge has a
detachable one.
4. Release the arm clamp.
5. Set the cueing lever to the "up" position. (See Fig. 2.)
6. Move the tonearm over the desired groove.
7. Set the cueing lever to the "down" position. (See Fig. 3.)
The tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and
play will begin.
When play is finished, the tonearm will automatically
return to the arm rest (auto-return), and the turntable
platter will stop rotation.
How to stop play
Push the stop button. (See Fig. 4.)
The tonearm automatically returns to the arm rest, and the
turntable stops rotating.
Of course, the unit will automatically shut off even when
the tonearm is manually returned to its arm rest directly.
How to suspend play
Set the cueing lever to the "up" position.
The stylus tip of the cartridge will be lifted from the record.
When you play a 45-rpm record with a large center
hole
Place the 45-rpm adaptor on the center spindle.
Set the
speed select knob to the "45" position.
If the unit is not to be used for some time
Secure the tonearm with the arm clamp.
Attach the stylus protector, if your cartridge has one, to
guard the stylus from damage.
Close the dust cover.
Lubrication (See Fig. 4-1.)
Apply 2 or 3 drops of oil once after every 2000 hours of
operation.
The time interval is much longer than that for conventional
type motors (200 — 500 hours).
Please purchase original oil. (Part number is SFWO 010.)
