3. 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 on a solid and low resonance base. The
base should be levelled before. To protect the surface of the
chosen rack, simply use the delivered flat pads placing them
under the spikes of the turntable chassis.
2. Unpack the turntable platter with the upper part of the platter
bearing. Remove the protective security tape from the bearing
housing and place this unit carefully over the spindle mounted in the turntable chassis. Do not use too
much pressure for this step otherwise you will cause damage to the bearing. Caution: pay attention
not to place any of the grease on the acrylic surface of the chassis. Be sure that the two markings
(platter, upper part of the bearing) are positioned as shown in the above figure.
3. Place the pulley on the motor spindle. The distance between the pulley
and the motor housing should be approx. 1-2mm. Tighten the little screws
inside the pulley with the aluminium screwdriver provided.
Place the stand alone motor on the top of the motor stand on the position as
shown in the right figure. The power switch on the upper side of the motor
should show to the outside and the pulley to the turntable platter. The
distance between the motor chassis and the turntable platter should be
aproximately 2 cm (ca. ½ inch).
4. Place the belt first round the platter, then round the smaller diameter of the
pulley (33 1/3 rpm). The tension of the belt can also be changed by turning the
motor about its axis and is correct if the exact turntable speed is achieved within
10 seconds. If the tension is too high, the motor could start to vibrate a
little bit. If the tension is too loose, the turntable will not achieve a constant
and exact speed (See on the right figure).
