5.   Cleaning   a   record   

  
Before  starting  the  cleaning  process,  prepare  the  cleaning  fluid.  Our  
fluid  is  sold  as  a  concentrate  that,  when  combined  with  900ml  
demineralized  water,  gives  you  1  litre  of  cleaning  fluid.  Pour  some  
of  this  mixture  into  the  Watson’s  application  bottle.    
Keep  a  towel  on  hand  to  wipe  up  any  spilled  fluid  from  machine  and  
table.  

  

The  record  cleaning  process  in  short:  

1. Place  the  record  on  the  platter  
2. Tighten  clamp  gently,  counter  clockwise  
3. Platter  ON  
4. Fluid  and  Brush,  4  rotations  
5.   

Vacuum  ON  

6.   

Vacuum  arm  on  record,  2  rotations  

7.   

Vacuum  OFF  

8. Platter  OFF  

  

Explanation  of  the  above  steps:  

1. Remove  the  clamp  by  turning  its  screw  clockwise.  Take  the  

record  out  of  its  sleeve  and  put  it  on  the  platter.  

2. Put  clamp  on  the  record  and  gently  turn  the  screw  counter  

clockwise.  Using  too  much  force  can  damage  your  record  
and  the  spindle.  

3. Use  upper  switch  to  start  the  platter  rotation.  
4. Apply  fluid  with  the  application  bottle.  Spread  the  fluid  

evenly  with  the  brush.  Then  brush  for  four  rotations  to  lift  
the  dirt  so  that  it  is  suspended  in  the  fluid.  

5. Switch  on  vacuum  with  the  lower  switch.  
6. Rotate  the  vacuum  arm  so  that  it  is  positioned  above  the  

record,  the  arm  will  move  down  on  its  own  due  to  the  
powerful  suction.  Use  the  vacuum  for  two  rotations.  

7. Turn  off  the  vacuum  with  the  lower  switch.  
8. Turn  off  platter  rotation  with  the  upper  switch.
