6.1)
Take the platter with both hands (with white gloves) carefully out of the packing.
Please pay attention that the integrated bearing does not fall out of the platter!
The at side of the platter should face to the chassis and the side with the cut-out (for the record) should
face up.
6.2)
In the next step remove the lamination of the sensor on the bottom side of the platter.
Please remove the lamination extreme carefully and avoid any soiling and scratches.
6.3)
With both hands you can place the platter carefully onto the bearing.
Through a lightly (!!) up and down movement the platter will slip onto the bearing upper part (picture 8).

To avoid any damages on your bearing, the platter should
have room temperature before the setup begin

Place the at belt around the platter and around the motor
pulley.
By pushing the sensor-switch, marked with “33 1/3” on
