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.
