Maintenance: 
 
Mat: 
The mat can be cleaned using a roller cleaner. 
 
Bearing: 
The oil in the bearing will last for 4 or more years.  Running the bearing without oil will do 
little harm due to the materials used and type of construction. 
A few drops of oil can be added after this time but it should be remembered that, when the 
shaft is re-inserted, the oil level will rise.  If any spills out it should be wiped with a soft cloth. 
 
Belt:  
Periodically (about once a year) remove the platter and belt.  Clean the belt and running 
surfaces of the motor pulley and subplatter with a soft cloth soaked in alcohol.  For best 
performance replace the belt every three years.
