Assembling the Turntable

1.

Open the box and take out the main turntable base. Remove the protective covering of the bearing shaft
and ensure it is totally clean using a lint free cloth.

2.Using the supplied syringe put a few drops of oil into the hollow at the top of the bearing shaft, and if needed,
dropping the oil slide down onto the internal surface of bearing housing. Place the ball bearing into this hollow
and put one drop of oil on its top. Gently rotate the ball using your finger to ensure it is covered with a thin film
of oil.

3.Put the bearing housing very gently down over the shaft taking care not to displace the ball. It will be a very
tight fit but once engaged it can drop suddenly - lower the bearing housing carefully by hand to prevent this.
Now spin the bearing to ensure it runs smoothly.
