    5. Drive settings The sub-chassis drive and the bearing setting are already set properly at the factory. However, for individual adjustments it is possible to customize the following: a.) Adjusting the platter bearing: It is possible to adjust the ratio of the platter bearing between the bearing on the steel ball or the magnetic pillow by adjusting the screw M5 on the bottom side of the device by loosening the counter nut.

Adjusting the sub-chassis drive: The sub-chassis is already preset in the way that there is a constant distance of approx. 5 mm between the underside of the platter and the underside of the tone arm socket.
