Champion Level 1
USER MANUAL
12.If you should have problems with hum, the turntable may need to be grounded. In this case, connect the grounding wire supplied to the screw of the bearing and to the earth connector of your amplifier.
The clearaudio Champion Level 1 turntable is now completely assembled and you can now enjoy
listening to music.
4. Speed calibration
Install the drive belt, first around the platter, then around the motor pulley. There are two diameters on the motor pulley:
•smaller for 33 1/3 rpm
•larger for 45 rpm
To correctly adjust the belt tension, turn the motor around its axis. Proper tension will be achieved through eccentric placement of the motor pulley or if you have enough space on your platform, just change the distance between the motor and the turntable chassis. The belt tension is correct if the belt can be deflected by approximately ¾inch by a finger.
5. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please take the time to fill out the enclosed warranty card and return it to Clearaudio or your local distributor / dealer. If you do not return this card within 14 days of purchase the guarantee will only be for a period of two years from the date of purchase. During any transportation of the turntable, always remove the platter and inverted bearing. If this is not done, DAMAGE COULD OCCUR!
Please regularly check the mains leads of your motor assembly. If there is any damage to any wires or the mains plug, have them replaced immediately by a qualified person (your dealer or distributor).
To clean the turntable, use only special acrylic cleaner, which is not alcohol based. Otherwise you
could could damage the material (haircracks and spots on the acrylic surface).
