Testing for correct assembly

1. The subchassis should move a few mm in all directions if gently bounced.

2. Switch on to 33 rpm position at front panel. The red light will change to green and
    the platter should slowly start to rotate, obtaining full speed in 8 to 10 seconds.
    Initially some cracling noises may be heard. These are made by belt and will
    disappear in a few weeks. If constant noise is heard, check height of subchassis
    or position of belt.

Mounting tonearm

1. with blank mounting board
    Use template provided by tonearm manufacturer and mark position of cuts. Bear
    in mind that there must be adequate space for counterweight. Check position of
    tonearm output cable.

    Unscrew four screws securing mounting board using 4 mm Alan key.

    The tonearm board is an aluminium and acrylic sandwich held together by two
    screws. These must be removed and cuts made in acrylic and aluminium separately.

    Fix tonearm base to board as instructed and

2. with precut board
    Unscrew 4 screws and take board of using 4 mm Alan key.
    Fix tonearm base on board and fix it back to subchassis.
    There is no need to secure tonearm cable. Just allow I to drop through hole in base
    plate and out at back.

NOTE: 

 The weight of the tonearm will have altered the height of the subchassis.

              This should be readjusted using the four knobs on top of the suspension
              towers.  Anticlockwise raises subchassis.
