• 

Anti-skating sliding mechanism with anti-skating weight and thread 
for mounting on the tonearm

support rod. 

NOTE

 

Be careful when handing the anti-skating thread in order to avoid 
damaging it.

Step 3

The anti-skating sliding mechanism is supplied with a pre-mounted 
anti-skating weight and anti-skating thread. Put the eye of the anti-
skating thread around the hole for the HOOK SCREW and screw the 
HOOK SCREW into the tonearm through the eye of the anti-skating 
thread as shown in the illustration below.

 

Step 4

Anti-skating force adjustment:

Adjust the anti-skating force by positioning the weight on the 
appropriate groove of the  anti-skating sliding mechanism. Anti-skating
