1.9 The last item in the carton is the turntable platter. Leave it in place until it is
needed later.
2. ASSEMBLING THE HW-19 MK-3
YOUR CHASSIS HAS AN ACRYLIC MOTOR BOARD, DO NOT PEEL OFF THE
PROTECTIVE PAPER COVERING UNTIL DIRECTED.
2.1 While the chassis is leaning against the carton or other support, remove the
tonearm board by unscrewing the six Phillips-head screws with a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. Be careful not to lose the washers found beneath the heads of the
screws. Set the armboard, screws, and washers’ aside for now.
2.2 If your arm board has a protective paper covering, DO NOT REMOVE IT!
2.3 The next step is to place the chassis in the base. The base should be arranged
so that as you face it, the motor pulley is at the left rear. Be especially careful
when putting the chassis in place to allow the pulley to fit through the hole. If the
chassis comes to rest on top of the pulley or if the edge of the hole catches the
pulley, the pulley and motor shaft may be damaged.
2.4 As you have discovered, the chassis is quite heavy. It is important to lower it into
the base carefully. The best way to lift the chassis is to use the Motor Cover
Plate and the tone arm hole (beneath the tonearm board removed in Step 2.1) as
handholds. Lift the chassis up and lower it straight down into the base.
2.5 Center the top plate within the base by sliding it about as necessary. There
should be an even clearance on all four sides. This is not super-critical. So long
as no side of the chassis touches the base, satisfactory performance will be
obtained.
2.6 Remove the Motor Cover Plate by unscrewing the three caps on top. There is an
internal tooth lock washer atop each of the cover’s support posts (beneath the
plate). Be sure not to lose these caps.
2.7 If you have not done so already, remove the final corrugated sheet from the
carton. Carefully take out the Mk.-3’s platter and slip its plastic bag off. Clean
out the tapered hole in the platter’s center with a clean, lint-free cloth. Place the
platter on a clean, flat surface for now.
2.8 Going back to the chassis, clean the tapered section of the spindle with a clean,
lint-free cloth. Your chassis has an acrylic motor board, peel off the protective
paper covering.
2.9 Hold the platter so that the cork-covered surface faces down and carefully lower
it so that the spindle goes through the platter’s center hole. Please be very
careful when doing this. Resist the temptation to drop the platter onto the
spindle.
2.10 Give the platter a good spin by hand. It should spin freely as if there were no
friction and it should take quite a while to slow down and come to a stop. If, on
the other hand, you feel noticeable friction and the platter does not revolve freely,
please contact your dealer or the factory for advice. DO NOT try to free up the
platter and bearing, as this will only make matters worse.
2.11 Assuming all is well, the next step is to seat the platter fully on the spindle. For
this you will need two parts of the MK-3’s record clamp. Take the frosted plastic
puck and place it over the spindle with the flat side down on the platter. Next,
screw down the knurled Delrin ™ clamp on the spindle over the puck. As you
