 The cartridge should be parallel on the shell
head when viewed from the top
and side (the illustration is the top view).
Tighten the screw for cartridge.

 Be careful not to allow the cartridge to
slip out of place.
Note
 The head shell stand ( 8) can be used
to store the head shell with the cartridge
attached, or to store the head shell
temporarily removed to replace the cartridge
and the like. It allows you to prevent
cartridge and/or stylus failure or trouble due
to head shell overturning.
 Depending on the cartridge type, attaching
the dust cover ( 13) when the head shell
is stored in the head shell stand with the
cartridge attached may cause the dust cover
to touch and break the cartridge. Be sure
the head shell is not stored in the head shell
stand when attaching the dust cover.

Attaching the head shell

3
cartridge into the tone arm.
Keep the head shell horizontal
and tighten the locking nut.
