10. From underneath the metal chassis, insert the spindle into the threaded center hole of the metal chassis and screw the
slotted base fully home. Using a large coin inserted into the slot underneath, tighten the bearing base as tight as you can to
insure that it does not loosen over time as the platter rotates against it.
11. Fill the fluid well at the base of the shaft with oil to a depth of about 3-4 mm. Put one drop of oil onto the top of the bearing
shaft and another drop or two down the sides of the shaft to pre-lubricate it. Carefully replace the bronze bearing housing
onto the spindle shaft, making sure not to lose the thrust ball. Spin the record spindle clockwise to distribute oil to the top of
the shaft. Remove the bronze housing momentarily to see if the bottom was immersed in oil. If not, add more oil and repeat.
12. Lower the assembled chassis over the motor housing and the three spring towers, ensuring the three spring bases and
white Teflon washers are seated correctly into the counter-bored holes on the underside of the chassis. You can use your
fingers to feel that the spring bases do not protrude below the underside of the metal chassis. This indicates the Teflon
washers and spring bases are correctly seated. Slide the turntable into its final position making sure that the motor is
centered within the chassis ring that surrounds it.
13. Dress the tonearm cable by inserting the supplied cable tie into the slots of the cable fixing pad on the underside of the
rear spider leg and securing it loosely around the arm cable. The cable should form a loose arc from the underside of the
tonearm to the rear foot and should not contact the surface on which the deck is sitting.
