re-adjusting rotation should never be more than the thickness of this line at one time

before reassessment. To effect movement the cap is turned by passing a small screwdriver

blade through the cross hole in it in the manner of a tommy-bar. Use both hands for

maximum control moving it slowly with gentle firmness. The golden rule is ‘a very little

at a time’ as the bearing could be severely damaged by over-tightening and failure to

observe these instructions would not be covered by warranty. Clockwise rotation tightens

the bearing anti-clockwise rotation releases it. Do not alter the factory adjustment

unless there is real evidence of need.

4. Spindle lubrication is also recommended after 1000 hours use or two years. With the

turntable inverted as for bearing adjustment take out the small screw near the centre of the

bearing cap and insert just one drop of oil, from the syringe of lubricating oil. Do not

exceed this. Replace the screw and tighten.

5. For cleaning the platter should be removed from the turntable whilst its surface is sponged

with a soft cloth using warm water and washing-up liquid, followed by warm water only

and then a dry towel.

6. Replace the drive belt after 1000 hours use or two years. A replacement (Part No. 1100) is

available from SME Limited.

7. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply unit. A 500 milli-amp fuse is

located below the mains socket, its replacement should only be undertaken by qualified

service personnel.

27. TRANSIT PRECAUTIONS

4. The Model 10 can be safely transported,

SUBJECT ABSOLUTELY TO THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:

Short journeys by car: remove the platter, disengage the drive belt from the motor pulley,

and replace the transit screw (see page 8). The turntable itself is best placed on the floor

of the car in front of the passenger seat. The platter and other items can be stowed

elsewhere provided they are carefully protected. For all other transportation purposes the

original packing case and materials must be used.
