@OIL HOLE (See Fig.1- ©)
@SPECIAL OIL (See Fig.1- ® )
The bearing parts of this set are designed with an ultra-precise finish
to prevent the generation of “Wow and Flutter”
A special oil has been used to maintain the high-performance efficiency
of this set by forming a uniform film of oil over the parts. For this
reason, use only the oil included in this set for its lubrication.
Even if there is oil leakage around the oi! hole or the rotor, caused
during transportation, it will not effect the performance.
Before use, apply about 2 drops of oil into the oil hole.
To lubricate, open the tip of the vessel with a needle, After lubricating,
cover the vessel with the cap to prevent the leakage of oil,
Never use any other type of oil. To lubricate, remove the turntable
platter
and
apply
about
2
drops
of
oil
into
the
oil
hole.
It is sufficient to lubricate the set once after approximately 2,000
hours of use.
Two thousand hours are equivalent to 5-1/2 years, if the set is used
one hour a day, or to 8 months if used 8 hours a day.
This period is much longer than has been necessary on previous, con-
ventional motors, Do not apply too much oil, nor more often than
necessary.
