The  completely  detachable  acrylic  dust  cover  is 
wrapped  separately  in  the  original  packing  from  
the  Yamaha  factory,  and  should  be  attached  as 
shown  in  the  diagram.    Align  the  studs  on  both  
hinges  with  the  grooves,  and  slip  them  first  (1) 
and  then  along  (2).  Simply  reverse  this  when  you 
wish  to  detach  the  dust  cover.    Springs  in  the  
hinges  will  enable  you  to  set  it  at  intermediate  
angles.

Before  placing  the  turntable  itself   on  its  central 
shaft,  turn  the  auto-return  mechanism  so  that  the 
arrow mark is in the position shown in the diagram, 
on  the  opposite  side  of   the  gear  wheel  from  the  
central  shaft.  Then  grasp  the  turntable  platter  
carefully  by  inserting  finger  and  thumb  through  
two  of   the  holes  provided,  and  place  it  gently  on  
the  center  shaft.  After  this,  put  the  rubber  platter 
mat on the turntable.

Fitting  the  Balance  Counterweight  Assembly 

1.  Push  the  separately  wrapped  long  counter-
