3.4 Install the Platter & Seat the Bearing
Fit the platter onto the bearing spindle
Begin the final bearing seating process by spinning the platter manually.
When completely seated, the space between the bottom of the platter and the
top of the turntable base is .100” (just a bit less than 1/8” or about 2.5mm) -
If you choose, you may continue spinning the platter manually in order to
complete the bearing seating process.
Alternatively, the bearing will settle on its own (without the platter spinning) if you
leave it sitting for perhaps half an hour. This can take as little as 5 minutes -
depending on room temperature and the temperature of the parts.
Wait until the bearing is fully seated before proceeding to the next step
(fitting the belt and installing the motor pod).
