Mounting platter and belt is carried out with the dedicated
jig supplied (Fig. 2.1).
Put the metal stems oft the mounting jig into a position as
shown in Fig. 2.1. Put the platter upside down onto a level
surface and stretch the rubber belt around the integrated
sub-platter (Fig. 2.2). Hook the stems of the mounting jig
into belt and carefully pull to the inner rim of the platter. Fix
belt and jig at the rim as shown in Fig. 2.3.
Avoid any oil or greasy substance to get onto the belt
and the transmission area of sub-platter and motor pul-
ley. If necessary you may clean them with a lint-free tis-
sue lightly soaked in an alcoholic dilution (e.g. ethanol).
Now turn platter back again and put it carefully onto the
bearing axle. Position platter in a way that the area be-
tween belt and inner platter rim as formed by the mounting
jig is to come exactly over the motor pulley (Fig. 2.4). The
platter has been correctly positioned if it can be moved to
the left or right by only a few degrees.
