If you accidentally SPILL silicone fluid on the air bearing, do not operate the tonearm

until that part is thoroughly cleaned. First, clean the part with a household spray cleaner, (409,

Fantastic, Windex, etc.) using paper towels. Then use alcohol and paper towels, bath tissue, or

cotton balls rubbing the bearing thoroughly. Silicone fluid will not damage the bearing. The

inside portion of the manifold may have to be cleaned if the bearing is moved with silicone fluid

on its surface. Consult the ET-2 Owners Manual or the factory if you have any questions.
