slightly billowy records can be layed with high accuracy in highest excellence.
3. Move the tonearm on the groove of the record and lower it with the lever.
Special features:
•Check every 6 months if the s indle shows a film of oil. Ex erience shows that
one dro of synthetic oil is sufficient during these time intervals (available from

Maintenance advice
The Transrotor turntable is made of the very best materials. All arts are robust and
low-maintenance and for long-year-durability. In order to kee your equi ment as
good as new, follow these advice:
Cover, Chassis and turntable
Always use a moisty leather for normal cleaning. Never use a dry cloth cause
otherwise the surface will scratch increasingly. The best results can be achieved by
using the cleaning liquid “Laser Clean” and a lint-free soft lasercloth. Furthermore,
the cleaned arts will be anti-static. Oil and grease stains can easily be removed
with benzine.
Aluminum-Metalparts
Even here oil and grease stains can be removed with benzine. Faint scratches can
be removed with a s ecial aluminium olish. Please do not use any other olish or
cleaning liquids.
Belt
It is fully sufficient to rub in the belt with talcum owder from time to time. Remove
loose talcum owder with a dry cloth before attaching the belt.
