Set-up Make sure the surface you wish to use the turntable on is level (use a spirit level) before placing the turntable on it. Fit the drive belt (3) around the hub (4) and the smaller diameter part of the motor pulley (2). Avoid getting sweat or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan. Use absorbent kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the hub and the belt.
Anti-skating force adjustment The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows: Downforce Groove in the stub (15) 10 - 1 4 m N 1 sl from bearing rings 15 - 19mN 2 nd 20mN and bigger 3,d Hang the loop of the thread of the anti-skating weight in the groove of the anti-skating stub (15) corresponding to the downforce applied to your cartridge and feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (17).
Maintenance and cleaning Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
Potential incorrect use and fault conditions PRO-JECT turntables are manufactured to the highest standards and undergo strict quality controls before leaving the factory. Faults that may possibly occur are not necessarily due to material or production faults but can sometimes be caused by incorrect use or unfortunate circumstances. Therefore the following list of common fault symptoms is included.
