PRELIMINARY REMARKS
Save the carton and all internal fillers and plastic bags. If you should ever need to carry or
ship the HW-19 JR any distance, there is much less chance of it suffering damage in transit if
it is properly packed in its original carton.
Electrical Requirements:
HW-19’s are designed to run on 115 VAC 60 Hz, or 230 VAC 50
Hz. The shipping carton shows which is the correct voltage for your unit.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
UNPACKING
Remove the corrugated sheet on which these instructions were lying. You will see plastic
bags with contents as follows:
A- 4- Rubber feet
B- Drive belt (with white powder)
C- Record clamp
Take out the three bags and put them aside. Remove large foam sheet and small pieces.
You will now see the dust cover (with hinges attached) in its plastic bag. Lift out the
cover and set it aside for now in a safe place.
Remove the corrugated sheet on which the cover was lying. The turntable’s main chassis
is now visible. Remove the white foam pieces. Take the base out of the carton by
grasping it on opposite sides and lifting straight up. The four plastic corner blocks should
fall off into the carton. If any remain on the base, take them off and set them aside. They
should be kept along with all the other fillers.
Place the base straddling two sturdy chairs of the same height. This will give you access
to the top and bottom of the turntable during assembly. Now, remove the plastic bag
from the base.
CAUTIONS:
Be careful not to damage the pulley and motor shaft.
Watch out for the line cord.
Be careful not to dislodge any of the Sorbothane at the base’s four corners.
NOTE:
The hinge holders on the rear of the base are normally loose to allow the dust cover to
be attached. They will be tightened later on.
Locate the plastic envelope containing the drive belt. Remove the belt, shaking it as you
do so to deposit the excess powder back into the bag. Shake off all loose powder. Do not
discard the bag. It contains sufficient extra powder to allow re-powdering the belt many
more times.
Fit the belt around the outside of the platter. Next, pull the portion of the belt that is
adjacent to the motor pulley and stretch it to fit around the motor pulley’s top (smaller
