7. Fit the armboard / tonearm to the chassis using the socket head screws and Allen Key. The screws should be just snug.  
 

Important note: Do not over-tighten or you will over-compress the embedded O-rings, defeating the de-coupling 
effect. Further tightening will then shear the Delrin studs off the bottom of the spacers. If you find that the top 
screws bottom out in the spacers before securing the armboard, then they are too long and MUST be changed for 
shorter ones or you will shear off the Delrin studs below the spacers. Contact your dealer or distributor. 
  

 
 
8. Install the other end of the grounding strap to one of the protruding Delrin studs as shown in the photo below using the 
knurled finger nut. 

Note: On a black painted chassis insure that the grounding strap ring terminal is attached to the 

area where paint has been removed to expose bare aluminium. This promotes a solid electrical grounding contact. It 
is imperative that the grounding strap is fitted and has continuity between the armboard and the chassis or hum and 
static problems may occur. 

 

                         

9. While holding the main bearing assembly upside down, carefully withdraw the slotted aluminum base/shaft from the bronze 
housing taking great care not to lose the thrust ball that resides inside. Put the bronze housing aside, again being careful not 
to let the thrust ball roll out.
