Place the pre-mounted chassis on your hifi-rack or another suitable base.

Please remove the protective seal from the bearing shaft and place two drops of the

synthetic bearing oil on the ceramic bearing shaft. Slip the bearing top onto the bearing shaft

of the turntable (please remove the safety strip first). Now you can set the platter carefully

onto the bearing. To avoid damages make sure you slide the inverted bearing slowly and

cautiously on the polished ceramic shaft. Hold the platter in one hand while with the other is

securing the bearing top so it can neither slip and nor fall on your turntable.

The marks (dots) on the platter and the top of the bearing have been carefully measured.

Please make sure they align exactly as shown in the picture.

Secure the tonearm only slightly using the fixing screws (marked red in the picture 1 and 2)

so you can still move it for exact adjustment. After adjusting the vertical position you should

tighten the fixing screws to place the tonearm in it’s final position.

The right vertical position of the tonearm depends on the height of the pick-

up/cartridge.

Therefore the pick-up-cartridge has to be installed next.

When installing the pick-up/cartridge connect the four coloured cables of the tonearm to the

four coloured connection pins of the pick-up/cartridge.

1 2

The exact setting of the tonearm requires the installation of the pick-

up/cartridge. Please follow the instructions given by the

pick- up manufacturer !

Left channel (L -) →blue
