7. Recommended Maintenance
CAUTION: Do not perform maintenance while turntable is operating.
Disconnect the power connection for safety. Only qualified individuals
should conduct these maintenance inspections.
Regular maintenance will prolong the serviceable life of your turntable.
Follow this recommended schedule. Use the inspection log that follows to
maintain a record of maintenance described below.
7.1. Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance should be conducted prior to each use of the
turntable.
• Visually inspect the turntable prior to use. Look for foreign
objects in the gap between the turntable top and the floor
flange. If possible, remove the objects to eliminate damage to
the turntable.
• Attempt to rotate the top by hand. Excessive rotation may
indicate a loose drive component.
• Listen for excessive or unusual noise during turntable operation.
7.2. Bi-Annual Maintenance
These maintenance items should occur every six months once the
turntable is put into operation. Prior to conducting any of the
following items, remove the turntable top.
• Grease the casters. Use a good quality bearing grease to
lubricate the casters. Using synthetic grease, grease all
casters. Mobil 1 synthetic and a standard SAE grease gun is
recommended; do not use lithium grease.
• Inspect the ground brush for contaminates. Vacuum the brush
to remove unwanted debris. Add a small amount of conductive
lubricant to the brush interface if required.
• Inspect the ground brush for wear. A well maintained ground
brush should have a long serviceable life.
• Replace the ground brush.
