Maintenance
The blue cloth supplied with your Origine
can be used to clean the surfaces and the acrylic platter. Do
not use this cloth to pick up oil spills, keep it for the delicate work.
Unless contaminated, there will be no need to replace the oil inside the spindle holder. It is important to
know however that a certain quantity of oil will be lost every time the platter is removed from the spindle
holder.
The drive belt should be replaced every 5 years for optimal performance.
