RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Do not perform maintenance while turntable is
operating.
Regular maintenance will prolong the serviceable life of your
turntable. Follow this recommended schedule.

Adjust the encoder chain. The chain should have no more than 20
mm (1/8”) looseness when flexed to a point halfway between the
two sprockets. Adjust the chain by loosening the two screws
holding the encoder assembly. Move the encoder in or out to the
desired tension.
Lubricate the encoder chain. Use a good quality grease to lubricate
the chain.
Grease the casters. Use a good quality bearing grease to lubricate
the casters.
Check the gearbox for fluid leakage. A slight film that collects is
normal. You should not have puddles of fluid. The gearbox is
lubricated and sealed at the factory. Under normal conditions, it
should not require servicing during its life.
Apply conductive grease on the ground brush along the wear strip
contact area (approximately 1 to 2” from the top of the strip).
Inspect the ground brush for wear. A well maintained ground brush
should have a long serviceable life. Should it need to be replaced,
replacement ground brushes for turntables are available in standard
lengths that are straight and not trimmed. They are assembled at
the factory into the predrilled aluminum extrusion that is attached
around the edge of the turntable. During replacement the brush
assembly is clamped in place using a pipe clamp in order to bend
the brushes to conform to the edge of the turntable top. The
