MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will prolong the serviceability of your
turntable. Follow this recommended schedule.
CAUTION Do not perform maintenance while turntable is
operating.
CAUTION: When removing the Model 2081 top use caution. The
edges are greasy from the conductive grease and the copper ground
brush is very sharp. Use rags or gloves when handling the edges to
prevent cuts and abrasions.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
Lubricate the drive chain. Use a good quality grease to lubricate
the chain.
Check all mechanical parts for wear.
Inspect the ground brush for wear. A well maintained ground brush
should have a long serviceable life. Should it need to be replaced,
replacement ground brushes for turntables are available in standard
lengths that are straight and not trimmed. They are assembled at
the factory into the predrilled aluminum extrusion that is attached
around the edge of the turntable. During replacement the brush
assembly is clamped in place using a pipe clamp in order to bend
the brushes to conform to the edge of the turntable top. The
replacement brushes have hole spacing that is machined exactly
the same as the original.
EVERY 12 MONTHS
Lubricate the main bearing race. Use a grease gun with a good
quality bearing grease. The grease fittings are located inside the
race, 90 degrees apart, underneath the top. Three discharges from
the grease gun in each fitting are adequate.
