Installing the Platter
Please ensure that the point of the triangle hold in the upper teflon bearing is correctly orientated to the motor pulley. See Fig (11). If
necessary consult your dealer.
Fill the bearing with synthetic oil supplied to a level of approx. 5mm (1/4”) above the bottom Teflon bearing, this is not critical. Do not
overfill. Over-filling the bearing will cause the oil to overflow the bearing housing when the platter spindle is lowered into the bearing
housing. Gently lower platter into bearing. See Fig (12) - (13). It is most important that spindle is located correctly in the centre of
the lower thrust bearing. Failure to locate the pivot point of the spindle correctly will cause the platter to rotate abnormally. The
spindle has been designed to protrude through the platter to provide a central lifting point that enables the user to easily achieve
this.
Important:
The unique design of the zero clearance Well Tempered Lab top bearing allows the spindle to be virtually free standing.
It is perfectly normal for the platter to tilt away from the motor when the belt has not been installed.
Should there be any necessity to replace the bearing oil, any synthetic motor oil of any brand within a viscosity range of 5W-50 is
acceptable.
Note:
The zero clearance Well Tempered bearing can rotate for hours without oil. If you wish, you can complete other adjustments
before applying the bearing oil. See Fig (12).
