How can I get a manual on how to fix this item? The arm needs adjusting. Thanks P.S. its a Technics sl-dd33 turntable

The power supply of the turntable needs checking. It could be just a fuse or something more serious, such as a faulty transformer.

hi, there is a rubber grommet at the base of the tonearm on the left side. Remove and insert a flat blade screw driver. Adjust and test until remedied. Cheers John. Stylus City.

turn the whole weight until arm sits just above platter.hold back of weight and turn front disc to zero. turn whole weight to spec for cartidge fitted,usually around 2.

the auto stop mechanism needs adjusting

Your tonearm might be damaged.

Have you left the tone arm lift in the up position?
If not: At the end of a record the mechanism lifts the tone arm, returns it to the rest, lowers it and switches off the motor.
It the motor has stopped too early, the tone arm will remain raised.
You can try gently rotating the platter clockwise by hand. This may allow the return cycle to finish.

hello

You need a belt.. Lift up the record support..(platter) Underneath you will see a metal post.. Belt goes around that and the bottom of the plate.(there is a rim) . If the belt is there, motor might be bad..

'Skating' is usually due to very low stylus pressure, which can be adjusted using a counterweight.

Is this the picture of the turntable ?

Isn't that a counterweight at the back-end of the arm ? Can't it be rotated ?

If the counter weight is fixed, check the pickup mounting. May be it needs to be adjusted a bit forward (to increasing the stylus pressure).
