Assembly step 2:
Placing sub-platter and platter
In the next step, first remove the plastic cover plug from the platter bearing. Make sure that no sharp-edged objects are used
that could damage the soft sintered bronze bearing bush. The plug should be kept in the accessories box for future transport.
Attention
: There is a loose, polished steel ball in the bearing bush that can fall out if you now turn the chassis through 180°!
The aluminum sub-platter and the POM platter are provided as a unit in the packaging. Release the sub-platter from the platter
by applying slight pressure onto the steel axle. As a precaution, this should be done above a soft cushion so that the sub-platter
cannot be damaged if it falls. After loosening, the sub-platter
with the steel axle can be inserted into the socket
. Due to
the tight fit, the sub-platter or the axle slides very slowly into the bearing. The axle has already been treated with a special oil in
the factory before the running-in phase and does not require any further action - not even after years of operation. Now place
the black platter
onto the sub-platter
.
Assembly step 3:
Fitting the drive belt
You should wear the enclosed gloves to attach the drive belt, so that no grease / oil can get onto the belt. The easiest
way to do this is to first place the belt around the large platter
with two hands and then encircle the pulley
(drive
shaft motor) by means of a slight pull. For an even application of the belt, turn the platter a few revolutions by hand
until the belt is in the middle of the pulley.
