Please follow the description step by step:

1.)

First take out the three black flat pads out of the accessory bag.

Place these flat pads on your hifi-rack or another suitable base, where the final position of

your

Innovation

–turntable will be.

2.)

After that, take the

Innovation

-turntable body of the next packing layer.

and place the spikes of the turntable on the flat pads.

3.)

To avoid hum noises it can be necessary to ground the bearing. For that please plug in the

provided ground cable into the hole of the screw from the bearing at the bottom side of the

turntable.

4.)

Remove the protective security tape from the bearing housing.

Place two drops of the synthetic bearing oil on the ceramic bearing shaft

(also available at www.analogshop.de).
