Now take the platter with both hands and hold its axle
perpendicular over the hole in the bearing. Slowly and very
carefully insert the axle into the bearing while making sure
that it must not forcefully hit the bottom of the bearing.
After the platter has been put in place turn it manually to
see if it runs smoothly and with ease. Add felt mat and
finally loop the belt around the outer rim of the platter and
the motor pulley
(Fig. 1) .
Avoid any oil or greasy substance to get onto the belt
and the transmission area of platter and motor pulley.
If necessary you may clean them with a lint-free tissue
soaked in an alcoholic dilution (e.g. ethanol).
Unless you have acquired your record player with tone-
arm, you can now proceed with mounting a foreign tone
arm according to the instructions supplied by its manu-
facturer. Otherwise your record player is now completely
assembled.
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to save the ship-
ping box and all packing material in case the record player
needs to be packed again for transportation.
Fig. 1
Thorens cannot be held responsible for any damage that
may occur during transport on the ground that the record
player has not been properly packed.
