5. Setup

1. Ensure your turntable is powered off and the record is placed on the platter.
2. Carefully place the Kedok Record Weight Stabilizer onto the center spindle of your turntable, over the record. The spindle diameter should be no more than 7mm.
3. Observe the integrated bubble level to ensure your turntable platter is perfectly horizontal. Adjust your turntable's feet if necessary to achieve a level surface.

6. Operation

Once the stabilizer is in place and the turntable is level, you can begin playing your record. The added weight and stabilization will help reduce vibrations and improve playback quality.

Using the Bubble Level

The bubble level indicates the horizontal alignment of your turntable. For optimal performance, the bubble should be centered within the marked circle.

Using the Strobe Markings (50Hz)

The markings around the bubble level are designed for 50Hz turntables. When illuminated by a stable light source (e.g., a fluorescent light or a dedicated strobe light), the appropriate markings (e.g., "50-33" for 33 1/3 RPM or "50-45" for 45 RPM) should appear stationary if your turntable's speed is accurate.

7. Maintenance

• Clean the stabilizer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Store in its original packaging or a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches.

8. Troubleshooting

Issue: Stabilizer does not fit on the spindle.

Solution: Ensure your turntable's spindle diameter is no more than 7mm. This stabilizer is designed for standard spindles.

Issue: Bubble level is not centered.

Solution: Adjust the feet of your turntable until the bubble is centered, indicating a level playing surface.

Issue: Strobe markings appear to move.

Solution: This indicates your turntable's speed is not accurate. Consult your turntable's manual for speed adjustment procedures. Ensure you are using a stable light source for observation.
