Primus Maximus V1.0-EN
Cleaning and Maintenance
Do only use a soft cleaning cloth for cleaning. It should be dry or only a little moist. Never use any
chemicals for cleaning.
The surface of the dust cover can get scratches very easily. So do not apply high pressure, when you
use your cleaning cloth.
The surface of the turntable plinth is real wood. It has got a finish with an oil/wax mixture. Before
using a furniture care product, please check compatibility first at a less obvious section (for example
the back side).
Take special care, when you clean the tonearm section. Especially the stylus can be broken very
easily. But also take care, that you do not misalign the tonearm settings.
There is almost no maintenance needed at the Primus Maximus. Only the condition of the stylus
should be checked regularly. Dust and dirt can be cleaned with a stylus brush. The wear and tear of
the stylus should be checked latest after ~200 hours of operation. This check can only be done by
specialists with the correct microscope equipment.
The stylus of the Ortofon Qunintet Bronze cannot be changed. If the stylus is broken or worn, the
cartridge can be refurbished at the Ortofon facility. Please contact your dealer for details.
