• Thoroughly inspect the unit for wear.
• Grease the plastic miter gears with a silicone grease lubricant.
• Clean the bearing races to remove any dust or dirt that may have
accumulated. For instructions, see the next section.
Cleaning the Bearing Races
To clean the bearing races, remove the turntable top as follows:
1. Remove the eight bolts at the center ring to remove the center
plate/flange that holds down the turntable.
2. If keepers are installed at the four corners of the assembly, remove the
bolts that hold the four keepers in place, and then remove the keepers.
3. Expose the bearing races by gently lifting the turntable top and placing it
to the side.
4. Remove the bearings. Carefully place them in a secure location.
5. Use a clean rag moistened with water to clean the races. No lubrication
is necessary in the tracks.
6. When complete, replace the bearings. Alternate the delrin bearings
(white) and nylon bearings (tan tint) to improve wear characteristics.
Gently replace the turntable surface. Insert the plate/flange in the center
and tighten the eight bolts that secure it. If desired, reinstall the four
keepers.
