Maintenance and Record Care
Turntable Removal
It is not necessary to remove the turntable mat in order to remove the turntable. The turntable assembly is held in place by a nylon retaining clip located in the center. Remove the spindle and lift one edge of the retaining clip with a screwdriver until the edge of the clip has lifted free. (Fig. M) Once this has been done proceed in the same manner with the other edge of the clip remove, retain, and lift off the turntable. (Fig. M)
Belt Installation
As the turntable is removed, the drive belt will come off the rim of the turntable. To re-install the belt, place the belt around the drive rim of the platter. Grasp the belt with your left hand and gently pull towards the outside edge of the platter. Do not twist the belt! While holding the belt, locate the center hub of the platter over the platter shaft. Make certain the speed control is set at the 33 position. Lower the platter onto the shaft as you pull the belt around the pulley. Release the belt as it engages the pulley while continuing to lower the platter.
Rotate the platter clockwise several turns. If the belt is installed properly the platter will revolve when the unit is turned on. If the platter does not revolve, turn the unit off and repeat the above procedure. (Fig. N)
Re-install the Turntable
Retaining "C" Clip
The turntable "C" clip has a projection on both the top and bottom. THIS PROJECTION MUST FIT FULLY INTO THE SLOT PROVIDED IN THE TURN TABLE SPINDLE SHAFT.
Lubrication
All pivot points and bearing surfaces have been lubricated at the factory and will seldom, if ever, require further attention.
Record Care
Keep the cartridge and stylus clean. Periodically have the stylus inspected by your dealer and replace if worn.
Return all records to their protective sleeves and jackets. Do not leave records on the turntable for long periods if not in use.
Store vertical rather than horizontally or flat. If possible, store records at average room temperatures. Do not permit them near or in contact with heat producing devices, such as radiators, electronic equipment, amplifiers, etc. Excessive temperatures tend to cause warpage of records. Avoid handling the groove surfaces as this will deposit a film of oil. Hold records by their outer edges when mounting or removing from turntable to keep records clean.
