RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will prolong the effective operation and
reliability of your turntable. Follow this recommended schedule.
CAUTION Do not perform maintenance while the turntable is
operating.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
Adjust the encoder chain. The chain should have no more
than 20mm (1/8”) looseness when flexed to a point halfway
between the two sprockets. Adjust the chain by loosening the
two screws holding the encoder assembly. Move the encoder
in or out to the desired tension.
Lubricate the encoder chain. Use a good quality grease to
lubricate the chain.
Grease the casters. Use a good quality bearing grease to
lubricate the casters.
Check the gearbox for fluid leakage. A slight film that
collects is normal. You should not have puddles of fluid. The
gearbox is lubricated and sealed at the factory. Under normal
conditions, it should not require servicing during its life.
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.
Grease the gear teeth. Apply a good quality grease to the gear
teeth.
