Place the premounted chassisplate on a good turntable rack area optimised for low sensitivity of
acoustical feedback.
Unpack the turntable platter with the upper part of the platter bearing. Remove the protective
security tape from the bearing housing and place this unit carefully over the spindle mounted in
the turntable chassis.
Do not use too much pressure for this step otherwise you will
cause damage to the bearing. Caution: pay attention not to place any of the grease
on the acrylic surface of the chassis!
Due to the high precision machining there could be left some air inside the bearing. The air will
flow out after several turns of the platter. Please make sure that the two markings on the
turntable platter and on the bearing are in one line (as shown in figure below). The correct
position of these markings is very important, because they had been calibrated at the factory.
