Setup and Installation

The Taarm Safety Raiser features an easy-to-install trigger lift design, compatible with most turntables regardless of shape, thickness, or height. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Positioning: Identify a suitable flat surface near your turntable's tonearm where the lifter can be placed without obstructing the tonearm's movement. Ensure it is close enough for the lifting arm to engage the tonearm.
2. Height Adjustment: The lifter has an adjustable height design. Carefully adjust the height so that the lifting arm can gently make contact with the underside of your tonearm when it reaches the end of the record, without interfering with playback.
3. Secure Placement: The base of the lifter is designed for stable placement. Ensure it is firmly seated and will not shift during operation. Some models may include adhesive pads for extra stability (check your specific package).
4. Test Engagement: Manually move your tonearm to the run-out groove area of a record. Observe how the tonearm interacts with the lifter's arm. The lifter should trigger and raise the tonearm smoothly as it reaches the end of the record.
5. Sensitivity Adjustment (if applicable): If your model includes a slider for lift force sensitivity, adjust it to ensure reliable and gentle lifting for your specific tonearm weight.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the Taarm Safety Raiser operates automatically. No manual intervention is required during playback.

1. Start Playback: Place your record on the turntable and manually position the tonearm at the beginning of the record as you normally would.
2. Automatic Lift: As the record plays and the tonearm reaches the run-out groove at the end of the side, the Taarm Safety Raiser's lifting arm will engage the tonearm.
3. Tonearm Protection: The hydraulic mechanism will smoothly and automatically lift the tonearm off the record, preventing the stylus from continuously tracking the run-out groove and protecting both the stylus and the record surface.
4. Reset: To play another record, simply lower the tonearm manually and position it as usual. The lifter will automatically reset for the next playback cycle.

• Cleaning: Wipe the device occasionally with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check for any loose parts or signs of wear. Ensure the lifting mechanism moves freely and smoothly.
• Lubrication: No user lubrication is required for the hydraulic mechanism.
