The installation of the drive belt is done by circling it around the outside platter perimeter first and then looping it
around the motor pulley using both hands as shown in the pictures below.
The top section of the motor’s pulley is the 33
1/3
rpm speed position while the bottom section of the pulley is the
45rpm speed position.
You do not have to move your motor when changing the speed of the Origine!
When your 33
1/3
rpm speed
is calibrated properly, your 45 rpm speed will also be right on the money!
NOTE :
Always turn the motor “Off” before
repositioning the belt on the pulley to change the
speed!
Before you turn the motor “On” again make sure
to align the belt on the platter’s perimeter with its new
height on the motor pulley by manually spinning the
platter by at least two full turns. The belt will slowly align
at its new height around the platter and you will then be
able to start your motor again without the belt falling off.
Preferably, use the record clamp to manually rotate the
platter to avoid touching the perimeter of the platter with
your fingers.
