Step 4.1

The engraved line on the center piece will meet

the line at the tangential curve.

Step 5

Mount the long stainless steel Locator Pin with

the Reticule either on top or pointing downward

into the 3mm-hole at the end of the aluminum

Positioning Arm. Handle with care, as the tip is

quite sharp and may cause injuries.

Loosen the front screw on the POM-block.

Slide the Positioning Arm with the Locator Pin

toward the center of the tonearm body.

If you can spot the tonearm pivot, put the pinpoint

of the Locator Pin here. Many tonearms have a

small indentation indicating where the exact pivot

point is located. This is ideal for precise

positioning of the Locator Pin on the pivot point.

If there is no indication of the tonearm pivot

point, attempt to locate pin exactly over the

tonearm pivot center.

If unsure of pivot center, use the Reticule to

visually determine tonearm pivot point by finding

symmetrical outer lines on the tonearm body.

Step 4.2

Slide the Central Assembly back or forth so that

the hole for the thumbscrew is aligned with the

locking thread for the selected curve - there is

only 1 possible thread hole to move to in each

position.

Fix the assembly in place by re-installing and

tightening the thumbscrew. The thumbscrew need

only be very snug by hand tension

Step 6

When the has pivot point determined and is

directly underneath the pin-point of the Locator

Pin, tighten thumb screw holding the Positioning

Arm in place. Take care to NOT move the

SMARTractor in any way until the alignment of

the cartridge to the tangential curve is finished.

The pinpoint has to be located precisely over the

pivot at all times during alignment.

You can fix the SMARTractor in place with clear

or painters blue tape by placing tape from the

SMARTractor to the side of the platter.

You can now align your mounted cartridge to

the selected tangential curve. Make sure the

tracking force on your tonearm is set to an

appropriate value for the mounted cartridge.

Important Note: Disengage the anti-skating on

your tonearm while aligning the cartridge.
