Prepare a level surface, using a spirit level, on which to place the
Xerxes.20
plus
(‘absolute’ level is not critical as
long as the surface is reasonably level). If you wish to use a dedicated equipment support, ensure that you get a
‘vertically’ rigid table. For best results it should sit rigid and level on a solid floor. For the wall mounted turntable
support, ensure the same.

This screw prevents the precision motor and its bearing mount assembly from being damaged in transit. Undo
and remove this screw from the transit pillar to release the motor body. With the screw in place the motor spring
is in tension so be careful as the motor will rotate back to its normal operating position. Please keep the motor
transit screw safe in the packaging for future use.

Remove the rubber plug on the main bearing. Push a cotton Q-tip down to the bottom of the housing and rotate it
while gently pressing down. Keep turning as you pull it out. The cotton bud should now have a recess in its tip,
which shows that the precision ball bearing is correctly positioned at the bottom of the housing (See figure). From
the small vial of oil, pour 4 to 5 drops of oil into the bearing housing. Always replace the plug, to keep the bearing
housing clean, if you are not fitting the inner platter immediately.

Remove the inner platter/spindle assembly from its plastic bag. The spindle is slightly oiled to protect the tool
steel spindle (remember to do the same if you are storing your Xerxes for a length of time).
Wipe the oil from the spindle using a soft lint-free tissue.
Remove the plug from the bearing and carefully guide the spindle into the main bearing hole. Gently spin the
inner platter. The platter will slowly sink over a period of about ten to twenty minutes. Do not force the platter
down. The spindle is factory fitted to ensure that the inner platter runs true. Take extra care not to knock or bend
the spindle.
You can check that the inner platter has settled by gently raising and lowering the spindle by about 3mm. You
should hear a quiet metallic click as it touches the ball bearing. If there is enough oil a ridge will be visible at the
top of the bearing housing.
If you do not see a ridge, use one more drop of oil.

The belt should be wiped with a
non-alcohol
, wax based polish (i.e. aerosol type such as Pledge) before fitting.
When this has been done, the belt can then be fitted around the inner platter and motor pulley. Turn the inner
platter by hand for a few revolutions and the belt will come to rest in its correct operation position.
