The bearings of the motor, intermediate wheel and turntable spindle are of the
oil-retaining type and rarely need lubrication. When the need for oil becomes
apparent, lift off the turntable and lubricate these bearings sparingly with the oil
supplied. The motor must be switched off before removing the turntable or
replacing it on its spindle. If any difficulty is experienced in removing the
turntable an assistant should give the spindle top a downward tap with a small
piece of wood, such as the handle of a screwdriver, whilst the turntable is being
lifted.
The top bearing of the Motor can be reached through one of the holes in the
aluminium brake disc, see Diagram 2.
The top bearing of the Intermediate Wheel should have one drop of oil only
applied to it.
The bearings of the Turntable Spindle are lubricated by saturating the felt pad
surrounding the spindle and by removing the screw from the top of the housing
to apply a few drops of oil through the hole then revealed.
After lubrication, it is essential to remove every trace of oil from the motor pulley,
intermediate wheel and the inside of the turntable rim.
Further points for periodical attention are the periphery of the intermediate wheel
which must be kept clean by wiping it with a clean, dry cloth, the lever pivots on
the underside of the base plate which should be lightly oiled and the sliding sur-
faces which should be smeared with a light grease.
