Safety instructions
!
The power supply is used to connect and disconnect the unit from the mains. Make sure that the
plug is easily accessible at all times.
Hold the plug when unplugging the power cord. Never
handle the power cord while your hands are wet or damp.
Avoid letting liquids enter the device. Never place any item containing liquid, like a flower vase,
on or near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device. Never place any naked flame sources,
like lighted candles, on or near the device. The product shall not be used in damp or wet locations,
next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.
Keep plastic bags away from children to prevent any risk of suffocation.
Set-up
The deck is supplied partially disassembled and carefully packed for a safe transport. Remove all parts
from the transport packaging carefully.
Screw the magnetic field feet (16) onto the threaded bolts located on the underside of the plinth.
Make sure the surface you wish to use the turntable on is levelled (use the supplied spirit level) before
placing the turntable on it.
Put the platter bearing housing carefully over the bearing axle. Put the record weight on the platter
and level the plinth using the supplied spirit level and the adjustable feet (16).
For assembling the motor and the motor base, place the motor unit on the left side of the turntable.
Position the motor unit with the aid of the supplied template. Fit the drive belt (3) around the platter
(5) and the motor pulley (2).
Avoid getting sweat or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's
lifespan. Use absorbent kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the hub and the
belt.
Remove the transport lock (18) from the tonearm. Store it in the original packaging so they are
available for any future transportation.
We recommend using the record player without a mat on the platter.
