Carefully place the Delrin‰platter
on the bearing hub, making sure it
spins freely.
Install the turntable belt, with the
belt attached to the top pulley for
33 RPM records, and the bottom
pulley for 45 RPM records.
ASSEMBLY
Make sure UltraDeck™ is
placed on a level surface
If cartridge is not
included, follow cartridge
manufacturer’s installation
instructions
TRACKING FORCE
AND ANTI-SKATE
Install the supplied counterweight
onto the tonearm’s endstub and
balance the arm for zero-tracking.
Using a stylus force gauge, rotate
the counterweight until the
desired tracking force is achieved
per your cartridge manufacturer’s
specifications.
Attach the anti-skate weight
with loop to the anti-skate pin,
and dress the remaining line and
weight to the arm’s anti-skate
hanger. Set the loop to the
suggested notch on the pin based
on your cartridge’s weight. Each
notch reads from front to back:
If UltraDeck™ came with
the UltraTracker™ cartridge
preinstalled, use Notch 3.
Notch 1: 4g – 6g cartridges
Notch 2: 6g – 8g cartridges
Notch 3: 8g – 10g cartridges
Notch 4: 10g – 12g cartridges
Front Lines
Record Surface
If UltraDeck™ came with
UltraTracker™ preinstalled,
the following steps were
completed at the factory
After setting tracking force and
anti-skate, adjust the tonearm’s
height. Loosen the hex screw
located at the base of the tonearm
to raise or lower the arm height,
and tighten once the arm is
parallel to the record surface.
Next, adjust your headshell and
cartridge for correct azimuth.
Loosen the hex screw located
under the armtube, then adjust
the headshell as needed until it is
parallel to the record surface.
VTA AND AZIMUTH
Install the RCA interconnects and
ground wire to your preamp’s
phono section, and then connect
the power cord from the turntable
to any outlet or power conditioner
of your choice.
If the turntable is on an unleveled
surface, place a bubble level on
the platter, then carefully adjust
each foot until the turntable’s
platter is true.
CONNECTIONS AND
LEVELING
Back to
Front
After each play, gently clean your
stylus, always brushing back-to-
front using the supplied stylus
brush. We also recommend using
a liquid stylus cleaner such as
Mobile Fidelity LP#9.
When not in use, please cover
your turntable with the supplied
dustcover. For best sonic results,
remove the dustcover while
playing.
STYLUS CARE AND
DUSTCOVER
Keep your records clean by
using a high-quality record
brush and record cleaner
