3.6 Fasten the arm board to the chassis with the six screws. Make sure that there is a

washer under each screw head. Tighten each screw well.

3.7 Attach the tonearms cable according to its maker’s directions.

3.8 In most cases, the factory spring height setting will not have to be altered. The

chassis normally floats 1/8” to 3/16” below the top rim of the base. If it is within

these limits, no further spring adjustment needs to be made. If you do need to

make further adjustments, all but the left, rear spring can be reached from

beneath while the turntable is still across the two chairs. To reach the left, rear

spring, you will have to lift the chassis. Do remember to take off the belt from

around the motor pulley BEFORE lifting the chassis.

3.9 As a final check make sure that the chassis is freely floating in both the horizontal

and vertical planes. See that it is not touching any of the sides of the base and

that it is not touching the motor housing beneath the left, rear corner.

4. LEVELING THE HW-19 MK-3

4.1 The MK-3’s on/off switch is on the left front of the base’s “skirt.” It is a push-push

type switch with two positions, “in” and “out.” Push it a couple of times and make

sure that it is in the “out” position.

4.2 Plug the MK-3 into an outlet that provides the required voltage as indicated on

the carton.

4.3 Depress the on/off switch. The turntable should start and come up to speed.

Please note that the MK-3 is not a broadcast turntable and does not come up to

speed within one revolution. The type of high-torque motor that is required for

such a rapid start would degrade the audio performance of the turntable.

4.4 In the unlikely event that the motor does not start, first check to make sure that

the wall outlet is “live” by plugging in a lamp or some other device known to be

working. If the outlet is live and the MK-3 does not work, please contact your

dealer or the factory for advice and needed repair.

4.5 NOTE: The motor will take from 5-6 hours to “break in.” In other words, the MK-

3’s performance will subtly improve during this time as the motor bearings

reaches their operating norm.

4.6 Place the MK-3 on the shelf on which it will be used. With the turntable running

at 33, the belt will run parallel to the chassis and within the middle 1/3 of the

platter. You do not have to be fanatical about this, leveling by eye is sufficient.
