Safety Precautions:
Electrical connection to the power supply from the mains comes via the cable. Please keep
PS away from moisture and be careful not to damage the mains cable. The same precaution
applies to cables feeding the motor towers.
Unpacking:
XL DC comes packed in three boxes. Be aware that the boxes are very heavy and that the
centre of gravity might not be in the middle of the box. Inside are cutouts in the packaging
blocks of firm foam for various parts of the turntable. Some parts are very heavy, so handle
with care while lifting from the boxes and placing them on the assembly surface.
Contents:
Box 1:
Platter
Box 2:
Tonearm tower, base, subplatter, clamp, VTA gauge.
Box 3:
Motor tower, Power supply, belt, motor cables 2x, motor positioner, bearing oil bottle 2x,
clamp washers 2x, power cord, Allen keys: 1.5 , 2 , 2.5, 3mm, Instruction manual.
Basic Setup:
Note
: Some parts are very heavy, so be careful when handling! Open all three boxes and
remove top covers.
Note:
Choose a suitable supporting table which can hold over 90-100 kg without warping. If
you are using more than one tonearm tower be sure that the support can handle the extra mass.
Note:
While the parts are packed in plastic bags for protection, these are not intended to be
strong enough to lift or carry the contents.
Base:
Locate the main brass base with the shaft. Fig. 1. This is very heavy. Lift, being careful not
to scratch against metal parts of clothing, and position it in the middle of the supporting
board. The Kuzma logo should face forward. Use a ruler to position the centre of the base.
