    UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION Please take care when unpacking your TT-Three turntable and power supply. Choose a clean, clear location to unpack your units. Be aware that the turntable and power supply are surprisingly heavy; before attempting to unpack or lift the units, check the weight and if necessary use more than one person so that they can be moved safely and easily.

The belt must run over all three motor pulleys: The belt should settle at the centre of the platter’s edge, all the way around the circumference of the platter.

Look for the position of the belt at the platter’s edge at these points. You should be able to ascertain which suspension tower(s) require adjustment; if the belt is running low on the platter (below the centre line of the platter), then the suspension tower at this point needs to be lowered.
