Contents: 
Stabi Ref is packed in a single main box. 
Inner box: 
platter, subplatter, PVC bottle with bearing oil, belt, armboard, motor controller, power cord 
and motor cable, Allen key 4 mm with 4 pcs screws for armboard, instruction manual, clamp 
with 2 washers. 
At the bottom of main box: 
Subchassis with bearing shaft and base chassis with motors. 
Removing parts: 
Prepare the surface where you will set up the turntable.  Open the box at the top (see vertical 
arrows).  On  top  is  an  inner  box  containing  platter,  subplatter,  motor  controller,  clamp  & 
accessories: - remove this. 
Below are the two main chassis of the turntable.  Remove top foam inserts and lift up the 
subchassis  and  set  it  aside.    Remove remaining  foam  inserts and  lift  up the  lower  main 
chassis.  Be careful not to damage motor pulleys. Position the base chassis on top of the shelf 
or stand. 
Basic Setup
Note: Some parts are heavy, so be careful when handling! 
Note: Choose a suitable supporting table which can hold over 45 kg without warping. 
Note: While the parts are packed in plastic bags for protection, these are not intended to be 
strong enough to lift or carry the contents. 
Note: The base chassis must be in a horizontal position for at least two hours before the top 
subchassis  is  placed on top. This will  give enough time for the silicone oil  to settle at the 
bottom of the reservoirs. 
Note: The top subchassis will reach its correct position only when the weight of the platter is 
added. 
Note: Allow ventilation space above motor controller unit. 
Base chassis: 
The base lower chassis has suspension towers on the four corners and two motor pulleys in the 
middle positioned diagonally.  This is heavy.  Lift it, being careful not to scratch against metal 
parts of clothing, and position it in the middle of the supporting board.  If you are planning to 
use some extra supporting discs below the turntable’s own spikes, now is the easiest time to 
do  it.    Clean  surfaces  with  a  soft  brush  or  cloth.    Now  is  the  moment  to  level  the  stand 
horizontally.
