10. SETTING UP - TURNTABLE
1. Levelling
With the use of a spirit/bubble level ensure that the main chassis (lower
chassis) is level in the lateral and longitudinal planes. The 4 feet are height
adjustable and can be used to achieve a level chassis. When adjusting the
feet it is recommended to slightly lift the chassis adjacent to the foot
being adjusted. This aides ease of rotation of the foot and prevents the
foot rubber pad binding.
2. Transit Locks
For transit the suspension is locked (secured) by two screws; these are
accessible through holes in the driven pulley. The transit screws should be
turned anti-clockwise with the supplied 4mm hex wrench and removed.
3. Drive Belt
1. Place the drive belt over the large driven pulley and stretch over the
motor pulley. Slowly turn the driven pulley to allow the drive belt to
take up its natural running position.
2. Rotate the driven pulley by hand to ensure the drive belt is positioned
correctly and rotating freely.
4. Platter
Unpack the platter and place it carefully and squarely over the turntable
spindle lowering it gently down until it rests on the driven pulley, having
first ensured that both mating surfaces are clean.
WARNING
The unique damping material (isodamp) installed on the platter top surface
has been diamond turned and scrolled for intimate contact with the record.
Avoid handling the isodamp material and treat it like a vinyl record as it could
be easily damaged.
