PRELIMINARY REMARKS
Save the carton and all internal fillers and plastic bags. If you should ever need to
carry or ship the HW-19 Mk. 4 any distance, there is much less chance of it suffering
damage in transit if it is properly packed in its original carton.
Electrical Requirements: HW-19’s are designed to run on 115 VAC 60 Hz, or 230
VAC 50 Hz. The shipping carton shows which is the correct voltage for your unit.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
1. UNPACKING
Remove the corrugated sheet on which the cover was lying. The turntable’s main
chassis is now visible. Remove the white foam pieces and lift out the main chassis.
Be prepared for considerable weight.
Set the chassis on its side leaning against the shipping carton or other suitable
object. If you lean it against a piece of furniture or a wall, be careful that the edge of
the chassis does not scratch it.
NOTE: Be very careful not to turn the chassis upside-down. Never rest the chassis
either on the spindle or on the bearing well, which protrudes beneath the chassis.
Once again, there is a corrugated sheet to remove. Do so and you will see the HW-
19 Mk.-4’s base. Take the base out of the carton by grasping it on opposite sides
and lifting straight up. The four plastic corner blocks should fall off into the carton. If
any remain on the base, take them off and set them aside. They should be kept
along with all the other fillers.
Place the base straddling two sturdy chairs of the same height. This will give you
access to the top and bottom of the turntable during assembly. Now, remove the
plastic bag from the base.
CAUTIONS:
Be careful not to damage the pulley and motor shaft.
Be careful not to dislodge any of the isolators at the base’s Four Corners.
NOTE: The hinge holders on the rear of the base are normally loose to allow the
dust cover to be attached. They will be tightened later on.
The last item in the carton is the turntable platter. Leave it in place until it is needed
later.
