6. Special notes
6.1 Maintenance
• Please make sure that the precision dry ball bearings are not touched, cleaned or lubricated in
any way.
•
Never move or readjust the screws in the tonearm carriage. They should be adjusted only by
qualified dealers or at the
Clearaudio factory.
•
Use a cotton bud and a commercially available glass cleaner to clean the glass tube.
Put some glass cleaner on the cotton bud and slide it through the glass tube with a movement
from the inlet to the outlet groove.
WARNING:
Never insert the oil into the precision bearing as this will result in damage of bearing.
6.2 Transportation
Should further transportation of the
TT5
tonearm be necessary, please always use the original
packing material. Otherwise serious damage could occur.
During any transportation of the tonearm, always protect the carriage with a piece of
foam so that the carriage cannot move during transportation.
When repackaging the tonearm, please follow in reverse the steps indicated in this
manual for installation and setup.
6.3 Service
If any servicing or repair of a
Clearaudio
product is necessary, please first contact your dealer or
distributor. Alternatively contact
Clearaudio
directly and we will advise you of your nearest service
location.
PLEASE RETAIN ALL ORIGINAL PACKAGING. You will need it if this product has to be transported
and/or shipped. Any further questions you may have about this product should be directed to your
local dealer.
If the cartridge is not parallel to the reference line, rotate the tonearm base in the appropriate
direction, fix it in place and recheck your result.
Repeat this process until the stylus exactly follows the reference line of the linear gauge.
Finally, hand-tighten the screw/screws of the tonearm base to fix the final adjustment.
Now, check all settings as described from point 5 on and repeat the adjustment if necessary.
After setting the tangential tracking angle, fix the tonearm pilar in the tonearm base / clamping ring
or TT5 swing base.
Now you can remove the TT5 VTA fix by unscrewing the M4 cylinder head screws with a hex wrench
(# 3).
The Clearaudio
TT5
tonearm is now fully adjusted and ready to play.
