Mainentance
When air is consumed, the compressor works automatically, aproximately every
minute and then rests for about a minute. When it stops you will hear the noise of air
being released. The automatic drainage system works every few hours and you will
hear a similar noise when air is released from the reservoir in the compressor. This is
normal. The amount of water released depends on the working hours of the
compressor and the humidity of the air. In winter months there is less. (In northen
hemisphere) Water will be collected in the PVC bottle. When it is half full, unscrew
it and empty it. From the red filters, small amounts of water will drain into the
supporting stands. Lift up the filters and empty the liquid. Occasionally some noises
will be heard due to the automatic drainage system releasing water.
With normal use check this every few months. If the tonearm is used every day and
humidity is high, (over 70%) then monthly checking is recommended. In the
compressor manual, working conditions are described for compressors used all day,
every day, all the time in industry, where conditions are much more demanding.
Dis-assembley of the tonearm
Removing the bearing assembly from the shaft
Air bearing assembly and bearing shaft with cueing device
Note: Clean only occasionally- i.e. every year or two
Protect the cartridge. Do not slide the bearing without compresed air. Allen key 4 mm
will release the top screw of the blocking plate, which is at the end of the shaft. Slide
it off. Then gently pull off the whole assembly (tube with blue bearing). Be careful as
the wires are short, and put the assembly down on the platter. The wires can be pulled
out from the rear of the tube a little with gentle force and can be pushed back if the
wire loop is too big.
Using appropriate cloth supplied, which does not leave small particles. Soak with 75-
95% isopropyl alcohol (not acetone or any other dillutants) and wipe the shaft clean.
