Maintenance
The Turntable Spindle, motor and intermediate
wheel bearings being of the oil retaining type rarely need
lubricating. When however the need for oil is apparent
remove the turntable and sparingly lubricate these bearings
with a few drops of the oil supplied afterwards removing
all surplus and making sure that no oil is present on
the motor pulley or intermediate wheel before replacing
the turntable.
These oiling points are indicated on Diagram 5,
the oil recess in the top motor bearing being accessible
through one of the three holes in the aluminium disc of
the eddy current brake.
The motor must be in the switched off position
before removing or replacing the turntable. The turntable
is an accurate taper fit on its spindle and if difficulty is
experienced in removing it the spindle top should be given
a downward tap with a small block of wood, such as the
handle of a screwdriver, while the turntable is lifted.
