IMPORTANT CAUTION NOTES
==========================
The bearings used in the LV-V are of very high quality and are precisely adjusted. Care
should be taken to insure that no unnecessary forces are applied to the bearings that might
adversely affect their adjustment. We have detailed in the notes below some precautions
that should be followed.
CAUTION NOTE l
To derive the best possible performance from this arm, it is necessary that the cartridge
be mounted as firmly as possible to the headshell. This requires that a considerable
amount of force be applied to the cartridge mounting screws. If this force is applied while
the arm is mounted o n the turntable, some of this force will be transmitted through the
arm to the bearings and adversely affect their adjustment. To avoid this problem, after
you have loosely mounted the cartridge end completed the alignments REMOVE THE
DETACHABLE HEADSHELL FROM THE ARM, and then fully lighten the cartridge
mounting screws. This eliminates the possibility o f undue force being applied to the
arm bearings.
CAUTION NOTE 2
Never ship a turntable with the arm mounted on it. Always remove the arm and place it in
its original packing. For short distances; i.e., transporting it across town in your car, you
may leave the arm on the turntable. But be sure to remove 'the counterweight!
