Page 3: Description
Fig. 1. XL AIR kit parts without compressor and silver filters 2.0.0.0. DESCRIPTION: The XL Air turntable uses an air bearing instead of a coventional bearing which allows improvement of two important parameters in turntable design. Air bearings have almost zero friction and thus no vibration in the bearing itself, so no noise reaches the cartridge.
Page 4 2.2.0.0. AIR PRESSURE SUPPLY: This consists of the compressor, silver filters and tubes. 2.2.1.0. Air pressure line NOTE: The air supply line is under high pressure 4-8 bar so do not disassemble any parts under pressure. Turn off the compressor and release pressure from the air supply line. Pressurised air flow comes from the compressor via the black PVC tube to the silver filters.
Page 5 Locate the new upper base with air bearing (Fig. 4.) and position it over the lower base ( Fig. 5.). See that the air indicator is in the front position above the Kuzma label. Insert one screw at a time and fix them gently.

Compressor Instruction Manual. (See label at the side of the cover!) NOTE: Everything is set and checked by Kuzma Ltd. The only item to be added is compressor’s oil and air intake filter. If the compressor is in an upright position, it can be moved safely.

Page 9 4.2.0.0. SILVER FILTERS: NOTE: Keep the silver filters in an upright position. They might leak otherwise. NOTE: Keep valve closed between compressor and silver filters until pressure is raised in the compressor.Fig.13. NOTE: Keep valve closed between silver filters and turntable. NOTE: Open the same valve to put pressure into the silver filters.
Page 10 4.4.1.0. Compressor Plug the compressor into the mains. The main switch is under the cover on the top. It has two positions. When the main switch is turned ON, pressure will start to build up (working time) and this will be shown on the pressure gauge on the left side of the compressor.

5.0.0.0. PLATTERS SET UP: 5.1.0.0. AIR BEARING SET UP: 5.1.1.0. Inserting the subplatter into the air bearing IMPORTANT: Do not assemble or operate air bearing without air pressure flow! NOTE: Before inserting the subplatter with shaft into the air bearing be sure that it is clean and that the indicator shows pressure at 3,5- 4 bar.
Page 13 5.2.0.0. MOTOR TOWER AND BELT: NOTE: If needed consult XL DC manual Fig. 18. Motor tower and belt fitted 5.2.1.0. Motor tower Position the motor tower back close to the base as before, no need to be precise yet (the actual distance from the centre the platter to the centre of the motor tower is 191 mm).
Page 14 Fig. 19. Bronze platter Fig. 20. Top platter fitted on top of the bronze platter Place the bronze platter on a clean table (load will be 50 kg) with foam from box. Fig 19. This is best is done by 4 hands and 4 eyes. Then position the top platter above the bronze platter, center it above the lip while keeping it parallel.

NOTE: You can close the valve at the turntable, only if the platter is not rotating at all! The compressor will go on standby. Every few hours or so air release noises can be heard and the compressor will switch on a few times per day when the compressor is resting in the standby position.

7.0.0.0. TROUBLESHOOTING: IMPORTANT: Do not assemble or operate air bearing without air pressure flow! 7.1.0.0. PLATTER NOT ROTATING: NOTE: check compressor and motor power supply. 7.1.1.0. Check pressure level at the base indicator or air flow. If no air pressure- check air supply. If yes, then try to rotate platter with hand.
