9. UNPACKING

1. 

Unpack and check all items against the packing list in Section 7. 

2. 

 Having opened the packing box carefully lift upwards the top section 
high density foam module which covers the turntable/ tonearm unit. 
Lift out the turntable lifting from under the main chassis (bottom 
of turntable). The turntable should be sited on a substantial table 
or  strong  audio  stand  which  must  be  capable  of  supporting  the 
turntable weight. 

3. 

 With  the  turntable  sited  lift  the  left  side  of  the  turntable  to  gain 
access  to  the  motor  transit  screw  which  secures  (clamps)  the 
motor to the main chassis. Remove the motor transit screw and 
position the turntable squarely and centrally onto an audio stand.  
Ensure  that  the  motor  base  posts  are  securely  inserted  into  the 
compliance cups. 

4. 

 The  turntable  is  shipped  with  only  a  small  quantity  of  oil  in  the 
bearing  housing  and  this  should  be  filled  before  setting  up  the 

turntable. A measured quantity of oil is 
provided in the syringe and needs to be 
injected into the bearing housing. 
5.   Remove the syringe from its packing 

and insert the tip into the oil filler 
adaptor,  which  will  be  found 
factory fitted next to the spindle (as 
illustrated). 

6.   Slowly inject the complete quantity 

of  oil  into  the  bearing  housing 
maintaining  downward  pressure 
throughout the operation to prevent 
leakage.  Remove  the  syringe  and 
dispose of it responsibly

7.   Unscrew  and  remove  the  oil  filler 

adaptor  using  the  box  spanner 
found inside the tool kit. Retain the 
adaptor for possible future use.
