SET-UP

1. Before unpacking , f ind a suitable , level locat ion to place your new purchase . Due to the weight

and to avoid potent ia l damage, use safety precaut ions when l i f t ing or moving the turntable .

We suggest washing your hands before handling the turntable to avoid pr ints on the metal .

Careful ly remove al l components from the packaging and place them on a f lat sur face to avoid

any potent ia l for damage.

2. Remove tape from tone arm and plug mini XLR into top plate . (Figure 1)

Figure 1

3. Place the plat ter direct ly over the shaf t (Figure 2) that protrudes from the top plate making

sure to lower i t stra ight down to avoid scratching the decorat ive bezel or damaging the metal

shaf t in the plat ter.

4. To connect your turntable to your sound system, plug in the two RCA cables to the RCA

outputs on the rear of the turntable to the RCA line level inputs of your stereo receiver or

act ive speakers . Before connect ing power to your turntable , please ensure you have read and

understood the safety precaut ions . Connect the power cord to the power module on the rear of

the turntable and plug into a grounded wall out let . To l imit the potent ia l for inter ference , avoid

using out lets on the same circuit as dimmer switches . Put the belt around the motor pul ley and

plat ter, spin the plat ter by hand and the belt wil l self- level .

5 . Each step of the grooved pul ley is precision-machined to provide exact speeds for 33 1/3 and

45 RPM operation (Figure 3). For 33 1/3 RPM operation, place the belt in the upper slimmer groove

of the pulley. For 45 RPM operation, place the belt in the lower wider groove of the pulley.

6. Place the leather sl ipmat on top of the plat ter. Switch on the main power module at the rear

of the turntable . Ensure your tone arm l i f ter (Figure 4) is in the up posit ion . Remove the cover

from the car tr idge and remove the tone arm from its rest ing clamp. Ensure your stereo receiver

or act ive speakers are at your desired volume. Posit ion the sty lus (Figure 5) above your record

and lower tone arm l i f ter (Figure 4) when you are ready to star t enjoying your new turntable .

*Be sure to replace car tr idge cover when turntable is not in use .

7. The Runwell Turntable is leveled by our ar t isans in Detroit , but i f ever i t becomes unleveled ,

i t is equipped with 4 isolat ing feet . You can level them with a run-of-the-mil l bubble level and

indiv idual ly loosen or t ighten the feet unt i l they are the correct height .

CARTRIDGE

The Runwell Turntable comes with a moving magnet car tr idge ready to use .

The most reliable way to quickly troubleshoot any issues with your turntable performance is by

inspecting the car tridge. First , ensure that the stylus and your record are both clean using a

specialized brush (do not use a cloth or rag). Additionally, ensure that the car tridge is properly aligned.
