THORENS TD 550, User Manual

Page: 39 / 64

Maintenance and care
Your record player needs no particular or permanent main-
tenance.
If over the time dust has collected on the plinth or dust
cover it can be wiped off with a soft, moistened cloth.
HINT: a moistened cleaning tissue for glasses will do a
good job here.
Refrain from using a dry cloth for cleaning be-
cause this will in any case generate undesired
electrostatic charges.
The Thorens precision belt should be exchanged at least
every other year. If the record player is not in use for a
longer time, it is advisable to remove the belt in order to
prevent a premature ageing under tension.
If this record player is used very often it is recommended
to have the bearing checked and lubrication renewed after
about 5 years.
