ATTACHING THE DRIVE BELT

The ION TTUSB05XL platter is driven by a rubber drive belt attached to the turntable motor. In some rare cases, this belt may slip off, causing the turntable platter to stop spinning. If the turntable does not begin spinning

when you lower the tonearm, the most likely cause is the belt. Please follow the instructions below in order to properly re-attach the belt to the motor and the platter.

1.Begin by removing the clip which secures the platter to the center spindle. After you have removed the clip, remove the platter.

2.Turn the platter upside down. Place the rubber drive belt around the inner bottom ring of the turntable platter, making sure that the rubber belt is not twisted.

3.Place the platter back onto the center spindle and rotate it so that you can see the motor spindle through the hole on the platter. Now reach into the hole, pull the rubber drive belt off the inner ring and install it over the motor spindle, as shown in the illustration. Be careful not to twist the belt during this step.

4.Lastly, replace the clip onto the center spindle to secure the platter

IMPORTANT

Make sure that the rubber grip mat is always placed on top of the platter while using the turntable. Failure to use the grip mat may cause damage to your media as well as damage to the turntable.

Remove the plastic cartridge cover (needle cover) before operating the turntable.
