Placing a DP-6 or UP-4 tonearm back in the box for storage

Important: A DP-6 must be stored in the same orientation as when mounted on a turntable - as indicated by the arrows on the ends of the box.

Turn the antiskating handle so that its extension points towards the opposite corner of the black plane:



If the arm bushing should be stored too, adjust the nut to a gap of approximately 2.5 mm:



If the armbase is to be transported (and not just stored), place the black rubber spacer underneath the body of the armbase at the counterweight rod so that the end is flush with the side of the black plane. Keep the counterweight rod pressed down to keep it in place. Then place the armbase (and bushing) into the box. Be careful to keep the antiskating handle and the girder part of the lifter free of the foam.

Below are pictures of a properly boxed DP-6 and UP-4:





The cable can be stored in the lid of the box like in the picture below:
