Set-up
For safe and trouble-free installation, we would suggest that you assemble the unit with the
assistance of a friend, due to the weight of the complete turntable system.
1) Open the shipping crate by unscrewing the top of the crate. Remove the wooden top.
2) Remove the styrofoam top layer, with the accessories.
3) Unpack the first part of the turntable: the main chassis. Remove the packaging fabric from
the main turntable chassis. Install the earthing cable at the bottom of the main chassis. You
will find the earthing cable inside the box of accessories.
4) Unpack the last part of the turntable: the platter. Remove the plastic transport cover over
the bearing shaft. Remove the red transport cap on the bottom of the platter. Please check to
ensure there is enough grease on the bearing shaft. If the shaft is to dry, please use the grease
that you find in the accessories box. Install the platter carefully. The best method is for one
person to hold the platter with a second person locating the platter into the bearing into the
correct position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please check the level of the grease in the bearing shaft every three
months, by removing the platter from the bearing.
5) Set up the height and the levelling of the chassis by turning the feet to the left side or right.
By turning the feet to the right, the chassis will raise; turning the feet to the left will lower the
turntable. Finally, level the Forte with the spirit level in the accessories box.
6) Install the two white drive belts. There are two different belt lengths. First, please install
the shorter belt to the lower positioned motor pulley, the pulley closer to the front of the
motor assembly. Second, install the longer belt to the higher motor pulley, at the rear of the
motor assembly.
7) Attach the power supply to the back of the turntable chassis.
8) Switch on the motor unit. The small green light will indicate that power has been switched
on.
The speed control has 3 buttons:
- 33
- STBY - STOP
- 45
By pressing the 33 button you switch on the motor to 33.3rpm.. Please, wait until the blue
light indicator stabilize. If you wish to change speed to 45rpm. press the button on the right
side - 45. Please, wait until the blue light stabilize. If you wish to stop the turntable please
press the STBY- STOP button.
