KUZMA LTD INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR STABI S PS turntable The Stabi S PS turntable is a very precisely engineered piece of equipment. The construction, however, is robust and requires little maintenance for optimal performance. CONTENTS: Page General Unpacking Basic Setup...
General Description the turntable is packed in one box on which is indicated whether a Stogi S tonearm is included, or an armboard for a different tonearm. The basic approach to the turntable design was the same as that of all our products. Its unique shape and construction from solid brass rods, provide an extreme rigid connection of platter, bearing and tonearm support.
Unpacking: The whole turntable with tonearm (if supplied) is packed in one box. Before unpacking the individual parts of the turntable, prepare the area where the unit will be situated. The best position is on a solid shelf which is strong and rigid enough to support the turntable. For best performance this should be completely horizontal.
Basic setup: Note: Carefully unpack parts which are in protective plastic bags. Note: When assembling the motor tower and platter, ensure that the platter will not touch or damage the motor pulley! Check the distance of the motor tower from the T base. Note: While the parts are packed in plastic bags for protection, these are not intended to be strong enough to lift or carry the parts.

Subplatter: Lift the aluminium subplatter from the box ( fig 4) being careful not to touch the shaft with any sharp object such as keys, screwdrivers, etc. Remove the protective cover, insert the pointed part of the shaft into the bearing and manually check for free rotation. Belt: Place the belt over the subplatter and over the motor pulley.
Turntable setup: Ensure that the turntable is levelled horizontally. Tidy up the power cables that runs away from the signal wires as much as possible. Tonearm mounting: Stogi tonearms: Follow instructions provided with the tonearm. The brass pillar should be removed from the T base by unlocking it with Allen key ( 3 mm) at the front end of the longer T base .
Use and adjustments: Platter rotation and speed selection: Rotate the front knob on 33rpm position. Some starting noise may be audible from the belt in the first few weeks of use. To reach 45 rpm simply rotate knob to 45. Fine Speed adjustment: Fine speed changes can be made by rotation in the rotary switch, which is underneath the PS.
Maintenance: Mat: The mat can be cleaned using a roller cleaner. Bearing: The oil in the bearing will last for 4 or more years. Running the bearing without oil will do little harm due to the materials used and type of construction. A few drops of oil can be added after this time but it should be remembered that, when the shaft is re-inserted, the oil level will rise.
Upgrades: Adding second tonearm adaptor or 12 inch version tonearm adaptors are available, as well extra platter. Second tonearm SD kit Platter S kit...
For longer transportation, however, parts should be replaced , in reverse order, into their original packing, ensuring in particular that protection foam is inserted between parts such as the subplatter, platter and T base. Be sure that the motor pulley is protected. See fig 3. Kuzma Ltd Hotemaze 17A SI-4205 PREDDVOR...
