Carton 1 of 3:

First, take out the three black flat pads from the accessory bag. Place these flat pads on your

hi-fi rack or another suitable base, where the final position of your Master Innovation

turntable will be.

Then take the Master Innovation turntable body (drive unit) from the next packaging layer

and place the turntable’s spikes onto the flat pads.

To avoid humming noises it may be necessary to ground the bearing. To do so, plug the

ground cable provided into the hole in the bearing fixing bolt on the underside of the

turntable.

Remove the protective security tape from the bearing housing. Place two drops of synthetic

bearing oil onto the ceramic bearing shaft (provided, and also available at

www.analogshop.de).

Take the drive bearing out of the box. Please remove the bearing protection film carefully.

Carefully place the bearing onto the bearing axis.

Remove the protection film from the sensor mounted on the turntable chassis. Please do so

extremely carefully to avoid introducing any dirt or scratches.

Carefully take the stainless steel platter out of the box, using both hands. Remove the

protection film from the scale ring on the lower side of the turntable. The lower platter side

with the scale ring must be face down when placing it on the bearing.

Again, please remove the lamination extremely carefully to avoid introducing any dirt or

scratches.
