2. Assembly and Operation
First please put on the white gloves to avoid finger prints on the surface of the acrylic
chassis during installation.
1. Place the chassis with the spikes upside down
on a clean and levelled surface. Now take the
turntable platter incl. the upper part of the
bearing and place it carefully on the axis as
shown in the right picture. During this
procedure please pay attention not to place
any of the grease on the acrylic surface of the
chassis. There should not be any air left inside
the bearing.
2. Be sure that the two markings (platter, upper part of the
bearing) are positioned as shown in the above figure.
Picture 1: Placing the platter
3. The following adjustment is very important:
should the air bubble in the level gauge not be in the
black circle (see at the blow up), please ensure then
that your underground so will be according aligned.
Only if the turntable will be aligned you will receive the
optimum on sound.
4. Place the pulley on the motor spindle.
The distance between the pulley and
the motor housing should be approx.
1mm. Tighten the little screws inside
the pulley with the aluminium
screwdriver provided.
