PLATTER SETUP
WARNING: Incorrect Platter setup can lead to poor turntable performance, platter instability or permanent motor damage.
1.Start by placing the rubber drive belt around the inner bottom ring of the turntable platter. This should come preinstalled, but check to make sure that it is not twisted or damaged.
2.Install the Platter on the center spindle and press it down firmly. Check to make sure that it rotates uniformly and does not wobble excessively.
3.Rotate the platter so that the one of the holes is aligned with the Start Stop button on the front corner of the turntable. The brass motor spindle should be visible through this hole.
4.Reach into the hole and pull the rubber drive belt off of the inner ring, and install it over the motor spindle. Be careful not to twist the rubber drive belt during this step. Check to make sure the platter rotates uniformly. If the drive belt is properly installed, there should be a slight amount of tension that brings the platter to a stop after spinning it freely.
