I. GENERAL DESCRITION STABI REFERENCE TURNTABLE is a suspended subchassis turntable. The base plate, subchassis and platter are of an acryclic and aluminium sandwich construction which dampens all resonance of the turntable. The subchassis is isolated from the environment by four springs which are damped with silicon oil in sealed reservoirs. The suspension in easily adjusted via four knobs on the turntable top. The whole turntable stands on three large spikes. The bearing assembly is of an inverted type.

Testing for correct assembly 1. The subchassis should move a few mm in all directions if gently bounced. 2. Switch on to 33 rpm position at front panel. The red light will change to green and the platter should slowly start to rotate, obtaining full speed in 8 to 10 seconds. Initially some cracling noises may be heard. These are made by belt and will disappear in a few weeks. If constant noise is heard, check height of subchassis or position of belt. Mounting tonearm 1.
IV. ADJUSTMENT 1. Positioning turntable and power supply a. suitable surfaces are: - if floors are solid, a solid welded table, sand filled or purpose built turntable table - if floor are not solid - welded shelf - if neither of these options are available, avoid placing on heavy bulky furniture and place on strong but lightweight surface b. When carrying turntables tilt of up to 15° should not cause any oil spillage. But due to the weight of turntable we suggest platter and belt be removed.
V. USE OF CLAMP The function of the clamp is to press the record close to the platter mat, thus minimising vibration between record and platter and decreasing warps of record itself. 1. position metal disc over spindle on top of mat. 2. place record on spindle. 3. gently screw clamp onto spindle while steadying platter and edge of record with fingers. 4. clamp should be tightened so that rim of record touches mat. Continue tightening until rim of record starts to rise, at which point release clamp slightly.
VI. GENERAL MAINTAINANCE 1. Dust with a soft cloth and any oil stains can be removed with detergent or alcohol. 2. Cleaning pulleys and belt: This should be done occasionally (3 to 6 months) according to regularity of use. a. remove platter to gain access to belt and pulleys. Remove belt. Switch on motors, clean surfaces of pulleys and subplatter with cotton bud moistened with alcohol. By hand rotate subplatter and clean it. b.
VII. MINOR PROBLEMS If any problem occur with your turntable do not hesitate to contact your dealer. It may, however, he convenient to be able to make a few checks and adjustments yourself. 1. Immobile subchassis - check turntable has been unpacked correclty, - check tension of tonearm cable - check clearance between subchassis and baseplate - check that nothing else is touching subchassis 2. Platter does not rotate - check mains.
VIII. TRANSPORT AND PACKING Preparing a functioning turntable for short transport. You may wish to transport your turntable for short distances in a car (preferably on a seat). In which case the following precautions should be taken: 1. remove platter and place it its box. Remove belt. 2. remove tonearm counterweight and secure arm rest with tape, elastic band or foam insert. 3. remove subplatter, clean oil and put in in its box.
