Assembling The Turntable - THORENS TD 146 Owner's Manual

II. Assembling the turntable
The motor spindle, motor
pulley, turntable bearing
and tone arm assembly are
designed to very close
tolerances. As precision
parts, they should be
protected against shock
and strain. Exercise
particular care in fitting or
removing any part of the
turntable assembly.
For shipping or
transporting, always
remove the large outer
platter, the TP 63 cartridge
wand and the tone arm
counterweight from the
turntable.
Loop the drive belt around
the inner turntable platter
and motor pulley as shown
in Figure 6.
Figure 6
Center the outer turntable
platter on the inner one
and set the rubber mat in
place.
The belt, motor pulley and
the periphery of the inner
turntable should be
entirely free of any trace
of oil or grease. If
necessary clean them with
a lintfree cloth dampened
with denatured alcohol or
methylated spirits.
