Aries and JMW 10 Arm


I just got an Aries turntable with a JMW 10 arm and have a few questions. The arm lift does not lift the JMW arm high enough to clear the record. Is the lift broke or is there an adjustment that can be made? If it is broke any ideas on if and/or how to fix it. I bought the table and arm used and I have no manual for the arm. I have called VPI but was wondering if anyone could help while I wait for it to arrive. My next question is, does anyone use a mat with this table and if so, what kind? I just got this table yesterday so any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks guys for your help. With Rwd's helpful hint I did find the hex screw. Since I had purchased this table used I did not get any of the tools that must come along with a new one. I had seen the hex screw but wasn't sure if I should be messing with it. This is my first high end table so I was a bit nervous about what I could be messing with and what I should leave alone. :) Feiwell, I also have my lift all the way up in order for my catridge (Grado Sonata) to clear the record. Anyway, I appreciate the help and any other helpful hints that Aries owners may have are always appreciated. I am a new owner and enjoy hearing from other Aries owners.
