Proper installation is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent damage to your records or turntable. Handle the stylus with care.

Safety Precautions:

• Always turn off and unplug your turntable before attempting installation or removal of the stylus.

• Keep the protective cover on the stylus when not in use or during installation.

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Prepare the Turntable: Ensure your Grundig PS 4200 turntable is powered off and unplugged. Gently lift the tonearm from its rest.
2. Remove Old Stylus (if applicable): If replacing an old stylus, carefully grasp the stylus housing (the colored part) and pull it gently forward and down from the cartridge. Do not force it.
3. Unpack New Stylus: Carefully remove the new THAKKER Stylus from its packaging. Keep the protective cover on the stylus tip.
4. Attach New Stylus: Align the new stylus with the cartridge. The stylus housing should slide smoothly into place. Push it gently upwards and backwards until it clicks securely into the cartridge. Ensure it is firmly seated.
5. Remove Protective Cover: Once the stylus is securely attached, carefully remove the protective cover by pulling it straight forward. Store the cover in a safe place for future use.
6. Test: Plug in and power on your turntable. Place a record on the platter and gently lower the tonearm to test the sound.

Operating Instructions

Once the THAKKER Stylus is installed, operate your Grundig PS 4200 turntable as usual. Always ensure the stylus is clean and free of debris before playing a record. Handle the tonearm gently to avoid damaging the stylus or records.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your stylus and preserve sound quality.

Stylus Cleaning:

• Use a soft stylus brush or a specialized stylus cleaning fluid and brush.
• Always brush the stylus from back to front (from the base of the cantilever towards the tip). Never brush side-to-side or front-to-back, as this can damage the cantilever.
• Clean the stylus regularly, ideally before or after each listening session.

Storage:

• When the turntable is not in use, always place the protective cover back on the stylus.
