IMPORTANT!

Being careful not to damage the bearing spindle on top of the pendulum shaft, assemble the

pendulum, starting by sliding a solid metal disc over the pendulum shaft so that it rests on the

wooden blocks. Be sure to place a felt mat between each metal disc, building the pendulum with

three solid discs at the bottom, then six half-cut-away discs, then two more solid discs, finally

adding the solid disc engraved with the words clearaudio

Statement.

Please note:

If you are using the

Statement TT1

tangential tonearm, position the half-cut-away discs with the

cut-away section at the rear of the turntable.

Place the four cork damping plates on top of the four corner

pillars.

Again, being careful not to damage the bearing spindle on

top of the pendulum shaft, lower the stainless steel cross

frame over the pendulum shaft so that it rests on the four

cork damping plates.
