PLATTER SETUP
WARNING: Incorrect Platter setup can lead to poor turntable performance,
platter instability or permanent motor damage.
1.
Start by placing the rubber drive belt around the inner bottom ring of the
turntable platter. This should come preinstalled, but check to make sure that it is
not twisted or damaged.
2. Install the Platter on the center spindle and press it down firmly. Check to make
sure that it rotates uniformly and does not wobble excessively.
3. Rotate the platter so that the one of the holes is aligned with the Start Stop
button on the front corner of the turntable. The brass motor spindle should be
visible through this hole.
4. Reach into the hole and pull the rubber drive belt off of the inner ring, and install
it over the motor spindle. Be careful not to twist the rubber drive belt during this
step. Check to make sure the platter rotates uniformly. If the drive belt is
properly installed, there should be a slight amount of tension that brings the
platter to a stop after spinning it freely.
TONEARM SETUP
1. Begin by rotating the
counterweight counter-
clockwise until it is in
the complete forward
position (NOTE: this is
also the maximum
amount of pressure
that can be applied to
the cartridge.)
2. Now there should be a
feeling of weight and
resistance when the
head shell is raised
and lowered. Begin
rotating the counterweight clockwise (away from the pivot point) until the weight
and resistance feeling is gone. If done properly, the tone arm will pivot with very
little resistance back and forth indicating that there is exactly 0 grams of stylus
pressure.
3. With the counterweight in its new position further away from tone arm pivot
point, grasp the scale ring of the counter weight and rotate it until "0" is in the
vertical position.
