SETUP
1. Transport screws
For the safe transport of the turntable with unique design where the motor and the tonearm
are mounted on a different part of floating chassis are used the transport screws (15).
Remove three transport screw from the carbon part of the chassis before installing the sub-
platter (14) the drive belt (13) and the platter (2).
2. Protective covers sub-platter and drive belt instalation
Main bearing shaft (18) and housing in the sub-platter (14) are covered by special plastic
protective covers. These covers serve as protection against dust and dirt and keeps the
bearing shaft and housing sufficiently lubricated. If necessary lubricate the shaft with grease
from tha attached accessories. Maximum dose for greasing is 0,5ml. Deduct the quantity
from the scale on supplied syringe with grease.
Remove the protective covers from the main bearing shaft (18) and from the sub-platter
(14). Install the sub-platter and the drive belt as mentioned on the next pictures.

a) Cartridge assembly
Install the cartridge into the aluminium headshell. Install screws that are part of the
cartridge box into the oval holes of the headshell and fix it into the cartridge holes from the
bottom side of the aluminium headshell.
Connect the cartridge as mentioned below:
•White left channel L+
•Red right channel R+
•Green right channel R-
•Blue left channel L-
For correct position of the cartridge use the two point cartridge alignment protractor which
you find in the accessories.
b) Counterweight assembly
Supplied counterweight has special TPE (termo plastic elastomer) damping. This
counterweight has two separate parts.
First part is counterweight itself and second part is additional insert which allows to balance
heavier cartridges.
10
Counterweight without additional insert can balance cartridges from 5 to 9g.
Weight of the counterweight itself is 125g.
Counterweight with additional insert can balance cartridges from 8,5 to 13g.
Weight of the counterweight with additional insert is 142g.
c) Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF)
Before setting the Vertical Tracing Force check out the exact weight of your cartridge.
Depending on the weight of your cartridge choose the counterweight with or without
additional insert as is mentioned on page 9.
Pushing carefully turn the counterweight (4) onto the rear end of the counterweight
support rod. Place the styus pressure gauge onto the platter. To set the required VTF lower
the tonearm lift as mentioned on the picture and place the tip of the stylus on the pressure
gauge.
Turning the counterweight counterclockwise (towards to the tonearm) increases the VTF
turning clockwise (away from the tonearm) reduce the VTF.
