CABINET
When
the dust cover or the cabinet is dirty or
dusty, wipe them clean with a polishing cloth or
soft cloth. Do not use furniture wax or bring the
turntable into contact with benzine, insecticides or
any other inflammable
material since they will
corrode the outside of the turntable.
MOTOR WORKS PROPERLY AFTER PLATTER
IS MOUNTED
If the motor is run with the platter removed, the
motor will not operate normally and may seem to
have
broken
down.
If, however,
the platter is
mounted, the motor will rotate properly.
LUBRICATION
There is no need to lubricate the PL-520 since it
employs oil-less bearings in the rotating parts.
If the turntable is brought into the warm from
previously cold surroundings, or if the room
temperature
rises
suddenly,
moisture
will
form on the operating sections and the turn-
table will not be able to display its perform-
ance to the full.
If confronted with a situation like this, leave
the
turntable
in its new
environment
for
about an hour or try and increase the room
temperature gradually before operation.
