Base Installation Instructions
Unpacking
Remove each item from its plastic bag and immediately
discard the bag as it is hazardous in the hands of
children.
The base is packed with a cork strip containing four
pads for the base. Remove the pads, one at a time, and
insert into the recessed areas at the bottom of the base.
(See Diagram A) These pads will prevent any accidental
marring or scratching of furniture. The pressure sensitive
backed adhesive will hold them securely in place.
Installing the Unit on the Base
The base is supplied with a bottom safety cover which
elifninates any possibility of mechanical hazard. Listed
below are instructions pertaining to mounting your
unit on the base.
Diagram A
1. Place the unitin front of the mounting base and insert
the AC plug into the opening of the bottom cover
marked “LINE CORD’’.
2. Insert the ground wire into the small opening marked
“GND WIRE".
3. Insert the audio cable, one plug at a time, through the
opening marked “AUDIO CABLE". On the Model
1000 it is extremely important that the audio cable
does not touch the cycle drive motor. When feeding
the audio cable through the opening keep as far
away from the motor as possible.
Position the unit over the base while, at the same time,
pulling the slack on the cables through the bottom
cover. (It is recommended that someone assist you
during this stage of set-up.) The line cord contains
either a knot or bumper. Pull the line cord until this item
passes through the opening. Make certain the wires are
not twisted together or fouling the mechanism. If slack
exists inside the base the unit can hum or malfunction.
Transit Wing Nuts
Diagram B
Once the unit has been properly located on the mounting
board of the base, thread on the transit wing nuts by
turning. The wing nuts should be approximately 14 "
below the mounting board when playing records.
Should you wish to carry the unit on its base, tighten the
wing nuts so that the turntable is firmly held on the base
and the shock mount suspension system has been fully
compressed. Make certain that the tonearm lock is in its
retaining position so that the tonearm is secured to the
tonearm rest. NEVER ship the unit on the base.
