How to fit the Acutus belts and set up the suspension:

Platter and drive belt fitting.

Place the platter top face down. Locate a small hole on the edge rim of the platter. Once found, insert the belt fitting pin.

Always make sure you have clean hands when handling the drive belts and before fitting the belt it is a good practice to clean the platter drive hub and motor drive pulley. Isopropyl alcohol cleaner would be suitable.

Stretch the two belts over the hub onto the fitting pin one at a time making sure they are not twisted together.

Carefully fit the platter to the bearing, making sure the location of the fitting pin is between the motor and the front left suspension housing.

Gently lift the platter edge exposing the motor pulley.

Rotate the platter and dress the belts onto the drive pulley.
Once done remove the fitting pin. Manually rotate the platter by hand to align the drive belt correctly.

Fit the lateral suspension O-rings to each suspension tower.

Stretch the O-ring so it fits between the platter and the sub chassis post, making sure its correctly fitted into the location groove and not caught between the post and platter wall.

Stretch over the two main chassis posts.

Take care when doing this near your cartridge.

WARNINGS AND USING THE CLAMP.
The female part of the clamp is made from stainless steel and the male bearing part is brass. You will need to take care not to strip or cross thread the clamp onto the main bearing.

Before fitting the clamp ALWAYS WIND THE MIDDLE COG UP to the top cog. If this is not done, you will eventually strip the brass thread.

Holding the underside of the platter with fingers and thumb on record, place the clamp onto the spindle. This gives you control of the platter whilst not leaving unsightly fingerprints on the platter wall.

Using the top cog, screw the record down tightly. Then using the middle cog screw down until the record is flat and in full contact with the platter.
To release the clamp, hold the platter in the same way and grab the whole clamp, twisting and unscrewing off.

Then ALWAYS UNWIND THE MIDDLE COG UP for refitting.
SUSPENSION SET UP AND ADJUSTMENT.

The turntable platter should be approximately level; however, THIS IS NOT
CRITICAL and other factors are more important to obtaining best performance. Once set up the platter, complete with record and clamp, should bounce with a smooth piston type movement, the drive belt running without any movement. You can easily see this by looking underneath the platter whilst it’s running. As a starting point, level all the suspension posts with the main chassis posts. This is done by inserting the supplied Allen wrench into the hole on the sub chassis suspension post. Push down to engage the wrench and turn clockwise to lower or anticlockwise to raise the suspension point.

Make further adjustments as necessary to obtain the correct movement.
